Expert guides on car cover selection, materials, and protection
Choosing the wrong motorcycle cover material means replacing it twice as often. Here’s a quick comparison of the three most common options.
Woven polyester with a PU or PVC waterproof coating. Available in 210D, 420D, and 600D densities.
Best for: Year-round outdoor parking in any climate. A 420D Oxford cover lasts 2-3 years outdoors.
Standard polyester with a waterproof PVC layer bonded to the inside. Slightly less breathable than Oxford but adequately waterproof.
Best for: Covered parking, carports, occasional outdoor use. Costs 20-30% less than Oxford.
Lightweight and highly packable. Nylon covers fold down to the size of a water bottle.
Best for: Touring riders who need a compact cover for overnight stops. Not for long-term outdoor storage — nylon degrades faster in UV than Oxford.
