The XP Deus 9-inch coil cover uses thin reinforced polymer construction, measured at the flat sections between the cross-pattern ridges. The reinforced rim is slightly thicker to absorb edge impacts from rocks and curbs. This construction provides meaningful abrasion protection without adding noticeable weight or altering the coil's ground clearance. The material flexes slightly on impact to absorb shock rather than transferring the force directly to the coil housing, which prevents stress cracks over time. We've run these covers through hundreds of hours of rocky-ground hunting, and the polymer shows deep scuff marks while the coil underneath remains undamaged.
