TECHNICAL INFORMATION

OUTDOOR FULL SIZE CAR COVERS

The full size Outdoor Car Covers are made from a 150D* woven textile, proofed with an aluminised finish to reflect ultra-violet sunlight and heat. We control the specification of the proofing to ensure 90% water proofing without losing the breathability.

We have not found any fabric/material that achieves the Holy Grail of 100% waterproof (that is totally impervious to water) yet is breathable. It seems to us that this is a contradiction; you can have one or the other, not both. True, there are fabrics that supposedly achieve this when used as outer clothing (e.g. Gore-Tex). The catch is that the breathability is forced by the warmth of the body wearing it; rather difficult with a vehicle cover!

We strongly believe that the fabric we use represents the best choice available for manufacturing outdoor car covers. This fabric treatment is to our specification and hence is unique to our covers.

Most of our Outdoor Car Covers have driver and passenger door zips, you can feel safe with the knowledge that the zip is plastic and has a fabric cover to prevent it coming into contact with the paintwork.

* D=Denier, the thickness of the thread used to weave the textile.
