I'm puzzled. The covering on my Kaos (and also on my friends Kaos) is tight and excellent. Have not had any problems with the covering. My previous Kaos also had good covering but the stripes
finally came loose. I hear complaints about the covering in this forum all the time, and have yet to have problems myself. This is simply not true that you have to buy the Kaos and immediately strip off
all the covering. the "except for the covering" is just plain wrong.
