COVER FABRICS - Which One is Right
for You?
We offer a wide selection of fabrics, to allow you to select
the one that will meet your vehicle's protection needs and
budget. Different fabrics offer different levels of protection
performance, and some focus on protecting from a specific
element, like intense sun exposure or dust. Our range of fabrics
is based on experience in manufacturing covers since 1965.
Use the chart below to help identify which fabric is best
suited for the protection needs you require. We've tried to
be as realistic as possible in showing how the fabrics perform
in certain conditions, but keep in mind that our opinion is
based on performance comparisons with other fabrics currently
used for vehicle covers.
 This
is a prime example of what NOT to do to your vehicle! All
Covercraft fabrics are "breathable" to allow good
air circulation under the cover. That's important because
it assures that any moisture or condensation under the cover
can easily evaporate, and it also reduces heat build-up on
hot days. Remember, rain water (not acid rain) won't hurt
a vehicle's finish; it's UV rays and pollutants in the air
that cause the most damage to the exterior and interior finish.
Using the chart, you'll find good, basic protection is provided
by the Multibond® / Block-it® 200 Series fabric, while
NOAH® and WeatherShield® are more expensive and provide
excellent all-weather protection. For paint protection from
dust and dirt during indoor storage, consider tan flannel
or Dustop®. If a cover is being used in an extreme sun
environment, Sunbrella® or our new WeatherShield®
HD may be the best cover to use. It all depends on the protection
level you want to achieve, and the amount of money you want
to budget, to protect your investment. In the long run, the
cost of the cover is minimal compared to the replacement cost
of what you are protecting. Remember, a cover not only protects
BOTH the inside and outside of a vehicle, it also acts as
a theft-deterrent by keeping the vehicle out of view to potential
thieves.

Regardless of the fabric you select, it will be constructed
with features found in all Covercraft covers.....
- Double stitched overlapped seams are strong and durable.
- Neoprene elastic is sewn into the front and rear hems
to help hold the cover in place.
- Reinforced, non-scratch grommets include a protective
flap on the backside and can be used with a tie-down rope
(supplied) or vinyl coated cable and lock (optional).
