SUPCOV Suppressor Covers are now available from U.S. Tactical Supply. Manufactured from a high-temperature silicone composite, SUPCOV covers securely attach directly to the suppressor, and feature internal and external ribs which encourage cooling through convection, greatly increasing the elimination of mirage.
Multiple models of SUPCOV covers exist for suppressors of various sizes and makes. Available in Black or Coyote Brown depending on the model. SUPCOV Suppressor Covers are made in the USA.
As an example, these are the test results of the performance of the M110 SUPCOV as posted by U.S. Tactical Supply:
