OSRG-8RB Swimming Pool Hand Rail Cover, 8-Feet, Royal Blue

Excellent and a perfect fit. It zips on. I am one old man with arthritic hands and was able to zip it on in about 10 minutes with no help. If you have a second person to help that will get it on much faster. I got the 4' length .High quality. This ONE PIECE for one railingCouldn't be more pleased with my purchase. BTW The Amazon price for this was 75% LESS than any of my local pool supply places.A real bargain.EDIT-one year later. It's been on for a year now. I live in a hot climate where we can use the pool 10 months out of the year. Color completely faded before the end of the first summer. Now the stitching is coming undone and the ;wrap won't stay in place. It slides down the hand-rail.I'll use it till it falls apart and then buy another as the price and quality can't be beat.Edit two. I bought this and put it on in June,2016.It's now June 2019 and I am replacing it. After 3 years it's starting to fall apart. No complaints here.It did a great job in our 118 degree summers. (Palm Springs,Ca).I wish it came in other colors.

Mislead by all the reviews. I was so worried about the size and the zipper breaking that I almost bought the six foot size which would've been way too long. I read how difficult a time everyone was having putting this rail grip in place. It arrived on time and I immediately read the instructions - couldn't be any easier. I measured the grip to the rail for size and placement - so far so good. Then I proceeded with step one - stretch it to make it more pliable - I actually over stretched it making it really loose. I wet it and the rail and it went on so easy - it zipped up like a loose windbreaker - no tugging - no sticking - no problem. I even unzipped it - took it off - turned it around so the zipper tab was on the bottom instead of the top of the rail. Again - very easy - no problem. After the grip dried on the rail it tightened up nice and snug. Not sure what the fuss was about with other reviewers. It looks nice, feels nice and will keep us from burning our hands in the Las Vegas heat. I highly recommend this product for your pool rail.

Fit perfect and very stable. Unfortunately faded and split after the first season.

This will stop you from burning your hand on your swimming pool's handrail.Ouch — those railings get very very hot in the summer. We live in Phoenix, what would you expect? After seeing one of these neoprene hand rails at a friend's house, we bought this one. It zips easily onto the handrail and we kept it there all season last year. So pleasant! In the fall, when the water cooled off to use (yes, that happens, even in Phoenix) we unzipped the cover, threw it in the washer, and then packed it away with all our pool toys. During the heat of the summer the color faded a bit, but otherwise the cover stayed soft and supple.In early April, when the pool warmed up to 75 degrees, we zipped the cover back onto the handrail and went for our first dip in the water. Yay!HINT: When deciding which size to buy, look not only at the top of the hand rail, but also at any part lower down that someone in the pool might grab. In our case, the 6 foot size covered the top of the rail and a lower part that looped over the pool.

They are really cool to the touch in this Arizona heat!!

I had added stainless steel hand rails to aid my wife's enter into our swimming pool. However, the rails would get very warm as the sun heated them up. Found these covers and priced them at the local pool store. Their price for a 6 foot length and without tax is the same as these for the 8 foot length via Amazon. Found if you soak the covers first and stretch them, zipping on the rail was no issue. I zipped with the zipper facing up and when finished you could rotate the rail cover easy enough so the zipper faced down. Once on it does not slip as the cover has a rubber backing. I think also once the season is over unzip and put inside out of the sun. Think this way it will last for several seasons. So I would buy this again, yes it keeps the rails cooler and prevents your hands slipping on the metal rails.

This is an excellent cover. It looks great. In Arizona, though, where I live, the sun is fading it pretty fast. It's only been a few months & I don't expect it to last more than a season. I'll probably buy a different one next year.

Needed a cover for my pool hand rail as it gets so hot. This was easy to install and does not slip. I would rinse the cover off first.
