Rower cover, is it needed?

Nice! Wish I could get a TV for the gym, just not sure I can justify it!

Have thought about HRM but I have a chest strap and hate it. Did think about the Polar OH1+ arm strap but not sure on accuracy (which negates the point of it a bit) and I haven’t ever trained to HR or really been that bothered about it.
