Lightweight breathable Cover they are selling for 80 quid, was wondering is its any good, thinking of getting one for the Cerb while it lives outside during my garage rebuild, was wondering how waterproof it is?

I've got one covering up my Tuscan,

It is pretty good, definitely breathable, and keeps the car dry and clean throughtout the worst of the weather.

I am not sure how long it will last, but I've ben using mine every day simce last August with no wear on it.

The only problem I have had is that in high winds, sometimes the car alarm can go off. (usually at 2 am) but I guess that could happen with any cover and the winds have been fairly strong this year.

I use one under a car-port and the exposed front section seems ok in wet weather (faces SW) but IIRC they are not designed for outside use so they don't strap down very well at the front or back.

ETA: Beware of some other covers as there have been reports of paintwork damage if put onto a damp car.

I had one of those expensive breathable covers..once it got dirty I washed it in fresh water in the washing machine and that ruined its water proof qualities.. a net curtain would have been more effective afterwards.. ste really.. took it back and got a refund.
