Cover
Usually, nylon is the most popular material for towable covers. It typically comes in different thicknesses or weights, commonly referred to as denier.

As a guideline, a 420 denier is typically used on single tube and double tube. This denier is lighter, thinner, and should only be considered when purchasing 2 person and below towable.
An 840 denier is twice heavier than a 420 denier. You will find it between 3 person to 4 person tube. Deniers at this weight are not simply heavier, but they are also stronger and used typically in more expensive, larger ski tube
