Insulated Water Bucket Covers---any critiques?

[texsuze]

SmarkPak has them advertised now. They're like a snowsuit for hanging water buckets. They'd be very useful for all the times I'm either bringing a jug of hot water to the barn to de-ice stall buckets, or for when I cross my fingers and turn on the barn's hot water, hoping the lines aren't frozen somewhere. They are expensive so I'd hope they last.

If I knew how to sew, and had a machine, I could use the TWO horse blankets which two different commercial cleaners destroyed , and fabricate my own bucket covers

Anyone have experience with these or similar covers?

Heads up - They are on sale for 30% off right now!!!

Not sure how long it's good for but I just got the email today..

Bucket cover arrived today. It would make a most excellent kitty cup! I couldn't access the 30% off sale but thanks anyway. I only bought one cover for now, since they're not cheap. Will only get to test it in, oh, probably Dec or Jan when we have our first really freezing night

I use the ones from SmartPak and really like them. I don’t use the part over the water. We add warm water st. Oghtx and they are usually ice free in the morning.
