Halfords Car Cover, Boxster 981
Discussion
I know it's know what you asked for, but I can thoroughly recommend the Stormshield Outdoor Cover from www.specialisedcovers.com
I had one of theirs before for another car and bought one for my Boxster straight away (it's stored under a car port but can get rain blown in). Fits like a glove with elasticated aprons front and rear with two secure straps underneath. Lined on the inside to help avoid scratches.
£249 inc VAT and delivery. Came with a good storage bag. Looks like it'll last for many years.

Thnaks and I am sure they are very nice but nearly 4x the cost - phew I had one of theirs before for another car and bought one for my Boxster straight away (it's stored under a car port but can get rain blown in).

Your car and you don’t say why you want an outdoor cover (trees, cats or?) but I wouldn’t bother with a Boxster. You can easily damage the paint with scratches caused by dirt on the inside fluff and micro blistering with condensation.
True - with all covers, you first have to make sure the car is clean and dry to best avoid scratches.Cats... gotta love 'em but they love sitting on a car outside the window to taunt me!

got the Halfords car cover, medium
perfect and with trade discount under £50, bargain. the quality is very good and can't imagine what extra a car cover costing 5x as much can give.
3 days with a sopping wet cover in my experience after some rain. I bought a Halfords one in early 2019 and because the centre part is fleece lined, it remains soaking wet for days after the rain stops. It also developed tears in it, I returned it for a refund.perfect and with trade discount under £50, bargain. the quality is very good and can't imagine what extra a car cover costing 5x as much can give.
The higher quality ones (and yes, more expensive) will dry out quickly (because they are breathable) without even having to be removed from the car.

Interesting, I had an older hafords car cover and the exterior was not very strong and easily ripped. wounder if thats the one you had as this one the outer looks very durableThe higher quality ones (and yes, more expensive) will dry out quickly (because they are breathable) without even having to be removed from the car.
