Polycotton canvas waterproof, breathable tough and longlasting.

Weathermax waterproof polyester. It is breathable tough and longlasting, lighter than canvas and has very good stretch performance, helping to keep a tight skin which assists water run off.

Stamoid Reinforced Heavy Cover PVC is a high spec material with outstanding UV properties and which retains a soft and supple finish that other PVCs lose quickly. It has a woven backing which is strong but kind to the boat underneath.
