Vertigo Canopy Glove
General Description
Vertigo Canopy Glove - The perfect pre-flight comfort solution. This tailored, figure-hugging glider canopy cover in shiny silver, reflects the heat away from the cockpit improving pilot comfort and protecting instruments from direct sunlight. With a built-in storage bag, the Canopy Glove is lightweight and always ready to use.
The Canopy Glove is the only lightweight reflective cover that allows you to close and lock your canopy with the cover on. This means you can safely ground-tow your sailplane on bumpy surfaces and not worry about the canopy jostling.
Please allow approximately 3 to 4 weeks delivery time for your custom Vertigo Canopy Glove.

- Encloses cockpit, not frame. This allows the canopy to lock which is much safer during a tow-out.
Q: Does the Canopy Glove wrap around the canopy frame?
A: No, because this means the canopy can’t be locked when towing out. Our Canopy Glove fits over the nose of the glider and is held in place with bungee & hooks underneath and over trailing edge.
Q: Is the Canopy Glove available in a different color?
A: We only offer Canopy Gloves in shiny silver.
