I need to catch up, I got a few suppressors now and no covers. What is your favorite suppressor cover and why?

The HTP line from Cole-Tac is awesome. The supplemental heat wrap not only keeps the outside cover cool ... it also grips the suppressor really well and allows the Velcro straps to hold everything in place. It's just the best suppressor cover available today ... IMHO.

I Use Scope Chaps "Can Chaps" and they are great.

Our new Can Chaps are finally here! This product is a suppressor cover with a different material than we have found in any other suppressor cover on the market. The inner layer in direct contact with the suppressor is very tacky and when tightened onto the suppressor completely eliminates...

Can Chaps for bolt guns.

I haven’t purchased one yet but I’ve been seeing them pop up at matches recently. The Ferox Gear cover looks pretty intriguing for match use.

Can Chaps ROCK! There is one downside, however. Mainly aesthetic.
If you use the same can on different guns, the “clocking” position of the metal clasps will change due to the unknowns of each barrel’s threading.
If you have a bigger gap where the edges meet, then perhaps more mirage will occur? Mine is tight, so no ill effects seem to happen.
That Ferox cover looks like a horse blanket or something.

Rifles Only HAD cover is excellent. Have a couple on cans and about to order a third for a new can. Once it’s on it’s not moving or falling off and can take a lot of heat. You can run a Skinny if just for bolt gun use also. Have one on a Nomad for my bolt guns.
Anyone have experience with the Liberty Defense Suppressor Cover?

Mine seems at least as good as my two Precision Underground covers with mirage. The great thing about the Can Chaps is they can stay on forever and do not slide around or fall down, even if you jam your gun with can into a tight rifle case. (Edit: to be clear, my PU covers never go forward, off the rifle, but they do sag down/back if the gun is vertical, butt down)
Also, Can Chaps are sticky enough that you can screw the can/off with the cover attached. After a slightly fussy install (repeatedly adjusting the buckles in minute amounts for a tight fit) I just don’t have to mess with the cover, ever again.
IMHO, if you are the type that likes to pull your cover back to let the can cool faster, Can Chaps are not for you. They are “set it and forget it”. If you like pulling the cover back, then in this way the PU covers are superior.

Btw if you want an inexpensive cover that actually works and doesn’t burn up, try the Weka cover from New Zealand. Note that I am not Mr. Full-Auto Mag Dump, nor am I Mr. Semi-Auto Mag Dump either. Mainly a bolt gun guy.

They are $24 each and I like my two. Not quite as good with mirage…depending on conditions they are somewhere between 80%-100% as good as the Can Chaps, hard to exactly tell as I have done no side-by-side tests. Suffice to say I was pleased by their performance but noted that maybe in still conditions they might be a little worse than the Can Chaps.
Pdog shooting in the strong ND prairie wind made them indistinguishable in anti-mirage performance from the Can Chapified gun+can that I was also shooting with at the same time.
Not classy as you have to trim it yourself and it’s doubtful you’ll get a perfect cut, but they are very light and low profile. They also don’t really move once installed, and you can spin on the can while they are attached.
They can sometimes roll or banana peel down a little when stuffing the gun+can into a tight rifle case. No problem, just roll it back down.
But $24.
P.S. use a liberal amount of hand sanitizer to install, otherwise you’ll want to kill yourself. The sanitizer evaporates.

Not armegedon gear. I shot one off they never stay in place. Can chaps and cole tac are much better designs
I've got 1 ea of can chaps, AG, and burn proof gear. BPG is probably my favorite for set/forget cover but they are expensive. AG works and is easy to slide back off to let your can cool faster if you want but they can slide around a bit if touched or going in/out of cases. Can chaps are a nice product too and stay put very well but they aren't the lightest and aren't a convenient slide back for letting the can cool. Those LS wild covers seem nice for lightweight hunting rifle that isn't going to get shot in many longer strings.
I purchased one after reading great reviews for it.
In my opinion its overpriced for how it handles the mirage and heat. The cable system is annoying and the fiberglass material, or whatever they use, gives you splinters. Plus it moves around too much. But, I am using a HUXWRX Flow 7.62 so maybe its because of the flow design that its not optimal for the cover.
Been using Ferox for about a year.
Open bottom with a rear cinch. No movement at all through thousands of rounds.
Great dude to deal with too.

Can Chaps by Scope Chaps. For all the reasons everyone said above.
I have 2 of these. He used to be on here, and the Form 1 board as well. No complaints from me, and the covers were specified for 2 of my Form 1 cans.
Precision Underground.
Oh and speaking of covers--wtf can't someone make handguard wraps longer than 6" ?

The Liberty one always reminds me of a trucker’s ratty teddy bear fastened upon his rig’s grill.
Like something out of the old Mad Max movies (not the stupid modern ones).

Wow....for $320 I sort of think its overpriced even if it cleaned floors/windows and cooked dinner. That's an expensive cover, for sure.
Yeah that’s fucking insane! I bought three of the Rifles Only HAD covers and still didn’t cost that much including shipping! lol
Yeah, I thought I was off spending on the Precision Underground, but 320-fuck that. I get it, market, supply and demand but 90% of this shit in the industry is over priced-by a large margin.
a buddy of mine made a bunch of orange fire proof dildo covers less than $20 out of some aircraft line material
For the money, Can Chaps for bolt guns and Cole Tac Corset for gas guns. I've run the HTP and it slips. But the corset model has stayed on no problem with a 308 and a Huxwrx Flow 762 which has a smooth barrel which enables covers to slide forward more easily.
The Can Chaps inner layer has a serious coefficient of friction, almost a tack to it, which makes it "stick" to the suppressor and keeps it from moving along with the straps.
I have a Burn Proof (overpriced and flimsy top cover for what it is) that does ok. Skip Armageddon Gear altogether. It took two mags of semi auto to set it on fire. Literally.
Techflex makes a high heat insulator (Burnproof actually uses this as an inner layer) that I use for an automotive product I sell that sits next to turbos, headers, etc...and it works really well. I buy big spools of it in the 1" size but you can get sections and use it as an inner layer for further insulation. It expands so you'll have to experiment a bit with the length (it shortens as it expands). The 1" size will fit around the Hux 762Ti no problem.

I think the 1" will work and I believe they have a .75" that'll likely work too. The Flow 762 is 1.8" in diameter and it's a pretty snug fit.
i went down this rabbit whole a while ago, from my race car days i knew there had to be something out there that doesnt cost $100+.
started researching fireproof wire/tube covers, turbo blankets and carbon fiber tubes.
ended up with fireproof aircraft line cover that is fiberglass inside with silicone outside - works likes a charm but is bright orange/red

Didn’t see any colors. Is that just athletic tape on the outside? And it doesn’t slide at all in use?
Gaffers tape hides the bright silicon color.
the cover is 1.5" as is my suppressor. It was very snug at first, over several heat cycles (6 months) it has started to slide, i recently added a velco belt to tighten to the suppressor, no more slide
My latest one, my wife made for me. I think she had about $3 in materials, insulation crap for hot pads, canvas, and Velcro.
Pricey but excellent. Will not melt or come off your can. I have an affiliate code for 11% off for those interested: FA11
I’ve used quite a few on the market these days: LD as mentioned, BPG, Rauch, ColeTac, and the Mechanix Wear (actually fine for a bolt application). My current recommendation for best bang for your buck is Sukon Performance, made by some great SF dudes out west. I do have a 10% affiliate code ForwardAssist , but I would recommend these regardless. They have a light and a heavy fire rate option. View attachment IMG_9428.jpegView attachment IMG_9964.jpeg
