car cover

[otto]

hello,
i recently got a 4dr splitscreen which i am afraid has to spend lots of time by herself on the drive ;(
i was thinking to get her off rain with a wheather proof cover..
i saw cheapish cover-zone covers on ebay:

i am left a bit puzzled by this breathability claim...surely they cant be breathable and water proof at the same time?!
i was wondering whether anyone has one? are they any good?
or are there other reasonably proced ones which are better?

thanks a lot.
kind regards
otto

Lots of material is both waterproof and breathable - sportswear, outdoor clothing etc etc.

There are plenty of threads here on this topic - do a search for 'outdoor cover'. Here are a couple of recent threads that may be useful:

My Cover Zone cover was fine - for the first summer (3 months use) I used it (the car is indoors in winter) - the second summer it quickly started to go 'hard' and cracked all over - letting rain pour in. Seems it should not have been exposed to the sun........ My advice - build a carport.
After this fiasco - I re-arranged my garages and now both cars are indoors all the time. A waste of £99.......

if you have space why not get one of these?

Must say I can't fault the Stormforce cover

Any photos of your car?
