Default $400+ for turbo blankets?

I'm curious which turbo blankets are most popular. The blankets I'm using have seen better days and are falling apart. I'm just a little surprised that they cost over $200 a piece for name brand new ones. I'm not usually cheap but this just seems a bit much.

I bought the PTP turbo blankets. They seemed to have the best reviews from what I could find. Ebay/Summit blankets seemed to be hit or miss on reviews. Unfortunately I don't have any miles on them yet to be able to tell you how they hold up for me.

I run two HSP lava T4 covers. NOT cheap but, they have lasted for years.

I also bought the PTP blanket and have yet to run with it on. I may have bought one size to large as it seems somewhat larger than my turbine housing.

Some sizes fit differently than others. So many frames.
