Our original bootie pitot cover is designed with durable, cushioned vinyl with genuine Velcro™ engagement strap and high-visibility red flag with white lettering.

Reviews
Fits our LSA like it was made for it. The design allows for enough flexibility to fit most pitot probes. Probably wont fit a 707.
White Remove Before Flight lettering on the back side of the red vinyl flag is poorly applied, and scratches/flakes off on contact - right out of the package. Design flaw or poor production run? Otherwise, this seems to be as advertised.
Basically a cheap piece of plastic compared to the items Ive seen and expected. The flag is plastic not the woven nylon you often see and the fitting could fit a 737 not a 172. But, it was inexpensive and probably pretty durable and will work despite not fitting too snugly. So, its alright and a bargain at the ten dollar price tag, and shipping was 3 bucks more. Not sure how fancy one needs to get for a pitot cover anyway, so its kind of a mixed rating I guess.
Fell off in almost no wind immediately after putting it on for the first time. The velcro strap is not done right. I will have to put an elastic band or something else to hold it on the pitot tube. Disappointing.
Fell off after one week and blew away even though I had it as tight as it could go. The velcro is not in the right place to help hold on properly.
Q&A
Its 7-3/4" long, and 3-3/4 high tapering down to 2".
