text: Self destructed, literally, first trip.
  
  First time using this cover. Worked great initially on the trip out. By the end of trip back, despite being securely attached, the stitching on one side had ripped out and the entire rubberized coating on the fabric had removed itself from the underside leaving a fist sized pile of rubber flakes in the kayak. Totally surprised this self destructed. Have another brand cover on the 2nd kayak that has been serviceable for years. If this is not appropriate for use in transit then the description should clearly state that as people are buying these for that purpose. One star is generous.
