Hi mhh,

OK, here his a first hand product endorsement from just up the road from you!

Three weeks ago I received my "all weather" car cover from Covercraft Europe. (based in UK) http://www.covercraft-europe.com/

I asked them for the best material possible. My criteria were :-
1/ fully waterproof
2/ UV resistant
3/ Scratch resistant
4/ Very lightweight and compact when stored

The material they recommended was "Weathershield". It's "claim to fame" is that the fibres are permanently impregnated by some "magic" process that makes it waterproof yet still allows it to breathe. I did a bit of research before ordering the cover and found the web site of the actual manufacturer of the material. Seems it was designed for sporting attire amongst other things - maybe a bit like "Gore-Tex" as is used for skiing jackets/pants.

Anyway, they said they had a template for the Gallardo, so I ordered a cover.

It fits PERFECTLY. The door mirror pockets seem to be designed to suit the Gallardo mirrors in both the normal out, and folded in positions - I was impressed!

The material is certainly very very lightweight, very easy to fold up and neatly store in the supplied pouch (made of the same material), and came with a security wire cable and padlock system (all totally encapsulated in soft clear PVC - so no risk of damage of the paintwork from the cable or padlock).

Also, the instructions say that it is machine washable (cold water only) using normal washing detergents, and the waterproofing properties remain unchanged (as long as you thoroughly rinse it several times - apparently this is important).

Actual delivery - 6 weeks (about 2 weeks more than they originally estimated - no big deal - they kept me in touch via e-mail).

I have not have the unit long enough to be able to comment on it's waterproof resistance etc, or obviously it's UV resistance (but they recommend I go for light grey as this has the best UV properties). But from my first impressions, and from my dealings with this company, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. My dealings were with Kevin@covercraft-europe.com <kevin@covercraft-europe.com>

I am a happy customer.
