Prefer the Oxford Stormex for the coming winter

I've had almost 2 years out of a £20 Oxford Aquatex...... I'm way to cheap for a stormex. Might get one of these Lidl ones as a spare can't be as bad as the cheap Kawasaki branded one I got in a sale that melted when it looked at a lukewarm end can.

Oh look, they have a battery charger for cheap too. Bargain?

Picked up a couple of these Lidl ones last year (assume they haven't changed much). Still going strong, see no reason to not get a second winter out of it (at least). It's not very thick, so you can get moisture condensing underneath on your bike. It is however totally huge, sure it'd go round a Goldwing or big Pan absolutely fine. The cord ties are a bit fiddly, I just use one at back and pull it tight around bike with that, but it can be a faff untangling the cord from bike as you remove the cover. Only needed to tie up front when we've had strong gales. It's never melted on exhaust and I always put cover on straight after pulling up, removing top box and chaining bike up.

Previous cover was an R&G one, apparently highly rated by Ride mag. Cost me £40, first was stolen, second lasted 12 months before the soft lining disintegrated and left my bike covered in white fluff every morning. I'd set off in a big cloud in snow, but if my visor was open I'd be choking to death on the stuff.

Not tried an Oxford one, but overall, at £9 you can't really moan much.

These are good, got one last year, will probably get another as a spare. What I will say is get a large for anything another than a CBR125.

I use a couple on bungee cords with the cover, the little cord strings are too annoying to undo when it's freezing cold and your late for work

The Lidl cover is a strong as fook and good for a few years usage even in harsh conditions but it is a little heavy and bulky to carry about.

Good for a year, last year was very wet. I'd buy again, permeability suffers after this time. For indoors it may last a decade.

Apologies if this is a bit of a daft question, but my bike is garaged - if (I dread the day) it comes to parking it up for a period of time over the winter, is it worth bothering with a cover when it's in a perfectly dry environment?

Thanks for the heads up
Just got a cover and charger
had a similar charger for years until it eventually failed
( in fact I may have damaged it trying to start the bike when it was connected..oops!)
If this one lasts as long and I aint stoopid again its a damn good buy
The covers are usually good for a year or two.

I see Lidls also offer an attractive range of hi viz........
