All mine have generally (unless they have holes in, anyway Smile ).

Is it wet from water coming through, or condensation? Some have a fleecy kinda linking which helps prevent condensation I believe.

Hard to say - condensation maybe? I think its rubbish but it wasnt expensive! Oh well, hope to have a shed soon.

I use one every day, it's an oxford one and it's great.

Only bad thing is that it's not big enough now I have a top box fitted, and it ripped slightly when the bike fell over a few weeks back, and now the brake lever pokes through the hole making it hard to get off in the mornings.

I have an Oxford Stormex, isn't cheap for a cover but seems to do the job, meant to be one of the best. It's quite thick with a soft underlay, has some issues like when it rains the cover loves to suck up the water & it takes ages to dry.

I need one to use for the short periods before hubby comes home, cos I can't move my bike over the gravel on my own- any recommendations?

Cheapish one I got off ebay does the job (about £15-£18 delivered).
Large size easily gets over any bikes I've had (including the bemmer).

Got a huge silver oxofrd thingy. Worked well when i've had to use it and even covers the whole bike with two sticky-outy wing mirrors.
