Karl, the supertrapp has been fairing badly in recent listers reports but Dash and another lister have been in touch with Supertrapp and they've acknowledged fit problems and are making corrections. No one to my knowledge has had good things to say about Cobra longevity...the best choice is the Laser ProDuro...it is a work of art (turns a beautiful golden hue to its stainless steel) has only mechanical baffles and no reported fit problems...expensive but worth it and the best part is Fred is going to be a dealer for them...that would be my recommendation...

Yep, I've heard that one too. We have a lot in common with our SO's !! After the hard sell on the protective gear, mine insisted on me getting a huge life insurance policy. I was a little suspicious at first, and made her taste all the food first for a while...... Jeff
