Definitions of “Performance” list -
RAIN - How well does the fabric resist rain? Best fabrics will shed water, but in extended rain storms even the best fabrics will absorb varying
amounts of moisture.
SNOW - How well does the fabric resist snow? Snow on the surface of a cover will eventually melt. On the best covers minimal amounts of
moisture will seep through the cover.
ACID RAIN - Will the cover hold out the contaminants suspended in acid rain?
DIRT / DUST - Will the cover prevent dirt and dust, which settles on a cover, to sift through over time?
UV (sun) DAMAGE - How good is the fabric at blocking UV rays from the vehicles surface and interior? Best fabrics provide 100% UV protection.
BIRD DROPPINGS - Best fabrics will not allow bird droppings to permeate the material and get on the exterior of the vehicle.
TREE SAP - Tree sap is difficult to remove from exterior surfaces. The best fabrics will prevent most types of tree sap from reaching the paint
finish.
BREATHABILITY - How easily can moisture, condensation and heat escape from under the cover?
HEAT INSULATION - Is the fabric thick enough to offer any insulating properties to reduce the vehicle temperature on hot days?
SOFT TOUCH - How soft to the touch is the fabric? Best fabrics provide a soft, silky finish against the paint surface.
DING PROTECTION - Based on the thickness of the fabric, will it provide some ding protection for the vehicle while parked?
EASE OF HANDLING IN THE WIND - How easy is the cover to install and remove in windy conditions? Generally, fabrics with higher weight
per square yard are easier to handle.
STORAGE SPACE REQUIRE - How much trunk space is required for a stored, folded cover?
MILDEW / ROT RESISTANT - All Covercraft fabrics are treated with inhibitors to minimize mold and mildew.
