What waterproof cover do you recommend?

[wilbo83]

Looking to replace my supposedly waterproof Oxford cover. Currently I like the look of the heavy duty Dust Off cover (link below) but just thought I would ask if anyone has any other recommendations?

I think it's KDC I have.

Very heavy duty, only replaced it with a like for like as I ripped my previous one snagging it on the bike.

I had my original for about 18 months before ripping it, bike stayed dry ALL the time (before the rip) and the replacement has heat resistant panels for putting a warm bike away.

Comes with vents and a little strap underneath and can be had for £45ish on amazon.

Funnily enough that is my second preference as looks similar quality to the Dust Off one. Only thing I couldn't work out was whether it has any eyelets to run a chain through? Not essential but could be useful (although not sure any of them will get an almax / pragmasis chain through).

I use a JDC cover. Waterproof, thick, heavy, anti scratch lining and doesn't flap around in the wind.

Don't suppose you know if it is the Ultimate Rain or the Ultimate Heavy Duty? Only reason I ask is that the JDC website only shows the latter having the soft lining and heatproof panels (image below), however on Amazon both the Ultimate Rain and Ultimate Heavy Duty state they have those. In fact, the only difference I can see on Amazon is the material itself.

From JDC website:


Ultimate Rain:

Just went back and checked my order - I went for the ultimate HD. It's been outside for six months now, no problems so far.

Thanks for that, appreciated. JDC customer service got back to me and it seems the image on their website is misleading and the only difference is the material.

"Sorry for the confusion, I can confirm that both the Ultimate Rain and Ultimate Heavy Duty covers have the same features: Taped seams, soft lining, heat resistant panels inside.

The main difference is thickness and weight. The Ultimate Rain is about 2kg and the Ultimate Heavy duty 4.5kg and more of an extra heavy duty cover."
