Specialised Covers are very good and sturdy

I've had limited success with covers - the last one I bought was from Halfords, and it was just as good as the expensive one I bought before that leaked... I'd suggest using a blanket or similar under the cover to protect the paintwork and to give another layer of breathability..

I've got a half cover on my 924 and on boxster.
Both do a good job

Not the Halfords one though, found them poorly made.

Those stormforce ones look ok 4 layers with a soft inner. Anyone had one of those

Hi Guys
Just come back from Aldi- they have full car covers in this week, probably crap but depends what your after, said it was fully waterproof & uv protective
From experience & my first reply I would stick with voyager though

I have the Stormshield+ from Specialised Covers. Excellent fit and good quality. So glad I bought as my car being white looks dirty if left out for more than a day
