A moving blanket is not a glass protection system. Cheap bras and strap-ons can rub finish, gap at edges, and fail at speed. A system is cut + core + retention — increasingly LOXX® for highway use.
TL;DR
- Improvised covers fail on fit, rub, and retention
- Systems specify all three layers
- FIT path: custom DXF + protective core + Mag or All-LOXX®
- Hero direction: All-LOXX® for moving glass
Comparison
| Approach | Fit | Impact core | Retention at speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blanket + rope | Poor | Maybe fabric bulk | Poor |
| Cheap universal bra | Approximate | Often thin | Straps / hope |
| Magnetic custom cover | High | Yes | Good everyday |
| All-LOXX® custom cover | High | Yes | Best for highway |
FAQ
Will a blanket stop rocks?
Sometimes, until it shifts. Shifted fabric can sand the glass.
Are adhesive bras safer?
They can damage gel coat/paint over time — different failure mode. See FIT’s adhesive vs magnetic comparisons on the blog.
Bottom line
If the glass is expensive, buy a system. If the rig moves at highway speed, prefer All-LOXX® retention inside that system.
