They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery….well, we’re certainly feeling very flattered at the moment!

An unknown manufacturer has recently copied our Patented Tow Pro Lite and is selling it to the British market. We are currently working hard to ensure quality is upheld and consumers are not mislead. 


Comparison

We would like to confirm that, although the images used may appear to be very similar to our universal towing protector, the Tow Pro Lite, it is not the product we have worked very hard to design and manufacture here in the UK. We use high quality fabrics and expert workmanship to produce all our products. 

The replica product appears to be almost identical to our Tow Pro Lite in marketing imagery but a side by side comparison shows very obvious differences.

  • Vastly different quality in material; a much lighter weight fabric with poor tensile strength 
  • No shaping allowance for curvature of van
  • 8 individual awning channel pieces (rather than a single strip running up either side)
  • A frame seal is not a stretchy fabric so will not create an effective seal
  • No fleecy backing
  • No ability to adapt for higher awning stoppers in the channels 
  • Protector only covers a width of 213cm, meaning if your van is bigger (up to 240cm) front sections on either side will be exposed. 

The cover itself fits very differently to what is shown in 'photography', especially in comparison to our Tow Pro Lite.

Some of our own photography has, in some cases, been used against our knowledge and authority to market the replica towing protector in an obvious attempt to look like the customer is buying a Specialised Covers product.

We have issued this statement as we would like to assure our customers that this product is not a Specialised Cover towing protector and is in no way related to our company.  

We are very proud of our products and will always aim to remain original and innovative.
