XL Roxter one on ebay will fit it easily, it's a differently branded oxford one for about £18
Oxford branded one is the Aquatex.

For heavier duty, oxford Rainex and then stormex

Unless you use the topbox, panniers and luggage pack (I assume tailbag?) all the time and its easier to leave it on the bike rather than take it off and on all the time at home then I'd take it all off and leave it inside. Firstly just to save you money and hassle on getting a bigger cover and also attempting to secure round that lot each time and secondly to ensure that if your bike goes missing all the extra money you've spent on luggage doesn't also.

Lidl cover has served me well (still gong strong). I think they've just had their bike gear in, not sure if it included the cover.

My Oxford stormex is around 4 years old and still going strong.

It's just missing a bike to cover at the moment. Neutral

Don't bother with the Aquatex it's crap for anything other then windless summer days.
I went through 2 before dropping cash on a Stormex and they are the world of difference.
The first ripped against a wall on a windy autumn day, the second ripped off the fastening clips within a few hours of being on the bike during a windy day.
