Choosing the Best Track & Field Cover for Your Needs

Selecting the right track protector or long jump pit cover comes down to understanding your facility's specific requirements. If you need maximum protection from weather and debris, 18oz solid vinyl is an excellent waterproof option. For high-traffic areas where breathability and durability matter, 16oz ArmorMesh offers a balance of strength and airflow. Track protectors, such as 15oz blankets or 16oz ArmorMesh, help shield running surfaces from cleats, dirt, and wear, ensuring longevity and safety.

When choosing your cover, consider:

Weather Conditions: Do you need a waterproof or breathable cover?
Durability Needs: Will the cover be exposed to frequent foot traffic or impact?
Ease of Handling: Will staff be regularly setting up and removing the cover?
Customization Options: Do you need a specific size, color, or branding?
