All Weather Bike Covers

[eli_74]

I was wondering what peoples opinions were on all-weather outdoor bike covers?

Are the Oxford Stormex ones the best/ worth the money?

I've used an Aquatex one the last few months, but it leaves alot of moisture on the bike if its been raining, and the bikes gonna be out all winter so I need protection.

It's also a weird shape with it being a Vulcan (ultra-sexy shape I mean ) so I need something thats going to fit well, and not blow about like a hanky in a fart factory

Thanks.

Does it have like a second lining inside to protect the paintwork? or is it just a single skin?

I think ideally it would have to be a heavy duty nylon outer, with a softer protective layer inside ...like the stormex lol

I use one of the big oxford jobbies to cover mine.
Heavy and rip proof-ish.
But the strap-it-onto-me that it comes with is shite. Only ties under her midrif. Not sufficient I think.
It still blows about like A hoor's knickers in a thunderstorm.

I got my Aquatex one from Hein thingy, it's been ok, but the cats round here (grr) have ripped the front to shreds, and on occasion have managed to get under it and sleep on the seat (ginger fur evidence at the scene - they'd be crap trying to pull off a heist)

I have got the Honda Outdoor cover for my baby. So far very good in heavy rain and high winds. Also breathable so the bike dries off underneath it.
