    - Great Protection Indoors & Out!
Our high-performance fabric - a Covercraft exclusive.

WeatherShield®, uses the patented EPIC by Nextec® encapsulation process, originally developed for high performance outdoor sports-wear.  Their proprietary technology uses precision and controlled placement of special polymers to make ordinary fabrics extraordinary!  This encapsulation process places an ultra-thin film around the fabric fibers and precisely places a durable, breathable barrier within the woven polyester fabric to complete the high performance finish process.  Unlike traditional coatings and laminations that just protect one side of the fabric, Nextec uses up to 40 computerized process controls to place protective polymers inside the fabric, to shed water, dust, bird droppings, tree sap and industrial pollutants.

The result is a fabric that provides maximum protection, but isn't bulky and hard to store.  Using Nextec encapsulation technology Covercraft has created the ultimate car cover...and named it WeatherShield because no other fabric has every shielded your car or truck from the elements like this one!

This magnified photo gives you an idea how the encapsulation coats the fibers and fills the voids between the threads with a breathable barrier to assure moisture, dust and pollutants are kept away from the vehicles finish.  The base, high-strength, polyester fabric is naturally UV resistant, but Covercraft has added UV inhibitors to the polymers to help slow-down the degradation that occurs naturally on anything exposed to sun for an extended period of time.

• Weatherproof - Fabric sheds water as soon as it hits the cover.
• Superior Dry Time - Because the fabric sheds moisture it has an absorption factor of only 2%, compared with up to 40% for standard woven and non-woven fabrics.  That means, if the cover has been sitting out in the rain you only need to shake it and the residue moisture will easily dry, in the trunk or on the car.
• Breathable - Allows any heat or condensation under the cover to easily escape.
• UV Resistant - Special additives prevent UV degradation and protect the vehicles finish and interior.
• Dust-proof - Patented fiber encapsulation process prevents dust from filtering through the fabric.
• Scratch-less - Polymers provide a silky smooth finish to the fabric and provide superior paint protection.  Nextec fabric has been tested at 1,000 cycles on abrasion wheels without scratching (surface must be clean and waxed).
• Durable - The encapsulation process is not affected by heat or cold and the process won't degrade over the life of the fabric.
• Easy Care - Unlike non-woven fabrics you can clean most car-size WeatherShield covers in your HOME washer and dryer.
• Packs Small & Light - All this protection in a lightweight package that packs into 1/4 to 1/2 the volume of multi-layer, non-woven fabrics.  That's a cover for a Honda Accord he's holding - minimal storage space, but high-performance protection.
