What’s the most important component of a car? You could argue it’s the engine, but an engine isn’t much good without a transmission. And a transmission isn’t much use without axels and wheels. Steering and brakes are pretty important as well.

Understandably, most people think first about what a cover keeps out, but what’s arguably even more important is what it lets out.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of a protective cover being freeze-proof. When a cover freezes, it gains weight and takes on the shape of what it’s covering.

Weapons systems, aircraft, vehicles, they’re all becoming more sophisticated - which means they’re all becoming more sensitive and susceptible to corrosion.

Just to put things in perspective, a human hair is somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-70 microns, and pollen is around 10 microns. The fine sand, also known as “moon dust,” found in places such as Afghanistan and Iraq, is 1 micron.

Air permeability is crucial in an effective cover because it prevents moisture from building up under the cover. In order to make our covers highly air-permeable, we use a patented textile that includes a remarkable membrane.
