Thank you for your feedback. This cover is constructed with heavy-duty, industrial-strength fabric to help defend against harsh environmental elements, and it features UV-resistant technology to reduce fading from sun exposure. It is designed to be waterproof, windproof, and snowproof, with a full-length fit intended to provide complete coverage and protection for your grill. Even with some sun fading over time, the cover remains fully functional and should continue to provide reliable protection for your Kamado Joe grill.
The cover is of very bad quality. Mine faded in a month, and didn't hold well in the first winter

Bought this cover for my new classic Joe. As a matter of fact, I bought 2 of these covers! They were on clearance and I figured I would need another one eventually anyway, so why not? Well this cover keeps my grill dry and has the vent to let it breathe.
Not sure what to say, it’s waterproof, completely covers the grill (with the shelves folded), has clips to keep it snug, although 40mph winds didn’t pull it off without using them!
There are cheaper covers, but they don’t say Kamado Joe on them!
Everything they say about the currently shipping BIG JOE cover in the description is FALSE. House painters hit my original cover with overspray and offered to replace the cover with new. This was a replacement for my 5 year old original, it leaked within a few months, faded QUICKLY, and the red trim started to come apart. At first it was a perfect fit, beaded water off, breathed well and remained black. Now it is a grey color and I am looking for alternatives. Both from my experience and the abundance of complaints on the website, KamadoJoe has chosen an inferior supplier that forgot to use UV protectant. I should have kept my original which was the best made cover I have ever had on a grill. Live and learn.
