Breathable Dinghy cover

   i think i would have weathermax - the tech specs seem better........ never heard of hydralite (hydrolite?) but it relies on a PU coating for waterproofing this will wear out(off) worse case pu coatings go brittle in u.v and shed on you or your boat.polycotton was always highly rated as it was breathable it tends to shrink though. for heavy duty get it in top gun not quite as colourfast as weathermax but better puncture resistance....
Confused? My dinghy cover is topgun - very impressed (3 years and in mint condition out side all year) next one will be weathermax. (and yes i am trade, and weathermax is fast becoming our cover cloth of choice))

	I'm in the market for a new breathable cover and was wondering about peoples experiences. There seem to be three material choices: 1. Weathermax (from various supplies P&B. North, etc) 2. Hydralite Polyester (from Rain and Sun) 3. Polycotton (from various suppliers). Im particular does anyone have any view on Hydralite versus Weathermax as am tending toward choosing one of these.
