Am waiting sample material (from C.A.P) of their 4 layer breathable cover that sounds like what I need - at £136.50 I'm also cosidering "Specialised Car Covers" Webflex outdoor cover, "Covercraft's" Noah and "Airflow's" Soft-tex. All breathable with soft fleece inner to prevent scratching. Will let you know what I decide once I've got all samples.

Hi Guys, I have been using an outdoor cover for sometime now. Its made by a company called Cover Zone and is fully tailored. I started off using their Monsoon range but had a problem with it degrading in the sunlight. They took it back saying it was a problem with the material they were using & asked if I would like to try their brand new Stormforce cover. What a cover, very light and easy to use. I have listed details below & web address. www.cover-zone.co.ukOur latest generation car covers are now available from stock... –the Stormforce range of tailored vehicle covers. This Cover-Zone unique fabric is a result of years of research & development to produce a fully waterproof cover that is also breathable. Our covers utilize modern high-tech manufacturing techniques that ensure that maximum protection for your car’s paint and bodywork is maintained through years of service. Stormforce covers are our flagship product & are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They feature a 4 layer construction that includes a strong, robust outer layer, padded second layer & a soft inner lining. The third layer is a special waterproof/breathable membrane that allows damp & moisture to escape from the covered vehicle but stops rain & dew from penetrating the cover. All 4 layers are bonded together & the resulting fabric has a sturdy, padded feel. These covers protect against hot sunshine, rain, hail, snow, frost, tree sap, birds, pets, dirt, dust, scuffs & scratches and are100% ultraviolet resistant. Welded seams are used wherever possible & double stitched hems ensure long life & total outdoor protection. They are suitable for year round use in all weather conditions and are incredibly strong. In very low temperatures, the fabric remains pliable & in strong, hot sunshine they keep interiors cool & protect from top/interior fade, paint damage & other sunshine degeneration. Stormforce Car Cover Features: Breathable 4 layer fabric to allow moisture & damp to escape Welded seams & double stitched hems for strength & long life Detachable Underbody securing straps with soft silicone fastener covers Elasticated front and rear hems for snug fit 100% Ultra violet resistant fabric to prevent paint fade Special waterproof/breathable membrane layer Side panel eyelets included for optional locking kit Separate sturdy zipped storage bag

Hi folks, bought the "stormforce". It arrived today so the car has had a good wash and is snug as a gug in a rug. Looks the business. See Bonehead above. Says it all really. Time will tell if itreallyis the beezneez.
Thanks for pointing me in their direction D.
