Impressed by how easy they are to install, well executed, but at $20 bucks a pop, I'll pass. If I am bushwhacking, I am usually using my Deus which is wireless (including the coil). Thanks for posting it.
it is pretty though.
Like Col Dan said, I would not use them on any detector you beach hunt with. You need to wash the cables if they are exposed to salt water or salt air and should be treated with silicone spray to preserve the cables.

As a beach hunter, I see this as hindering proper cable maintenance...i.e. cleaning and applying silicon. Salt is hard on cables if not cleaned...eventually, the cable covering will harden and split. This Snake Skin cover I think would hold the salt against the cable at worst and at best, is time consuming to remove in order to perform proper maintenance. I admire imaginative mods and this is unique but I'll pass on this one.
Just the view from my salty foxhole...
Heck I have never bought any accessory for any detector including coil covers. If I damage it I send it in for repair. If I break it I buy a new one. Within 4 - 5 years there is a new latest and greatest detector on the market that is a must have and the old ones gather dust. The same goes for new shafts etc. I will buy a new detector before a new carbon fiber shaft.
To me it's like paying 60K for a new truck then buying aftermarket accessories.
