Funnily enough I got one at the weekend as car is sat on the drive during the week and their still building houses so was getting caked in crap

Seems very good to me although I'm no expert on these things, I got a large breathable one and it fits just nicely on my classic WRX

1 thing I would say though is that the breathable one is is water resistant NOT waterproof

Thank you for your feedback.

Are you saying that water does get through, as like yourself my car is also sitting on the drive during the week.

Didn't need the hose after all as it chucked it down on Saturday and there were two puddles of water sat on the cover between the rear windscreen and rear wing where it sags a bit, so seems pretty much waterproof to me

Are there any issues with rubbing/scratching using covers, I was thinking I should go for a fleece lined one ?

I've not had a problem with scratches or rubbing!!

They seem ok and strong enough to do the job.

Why pay £100 quid when you can pay £30 and it does the same thing

Anyone got a Hamilton Classic cover, like the idea of it being fleece lined. Something like this I think this would be worth the £100.
