The Ultimate all-weather cover
fabric just got better!
How can you make a fabric that's been
selected as an OE choice for luxury, high-performance and specialty vehicles and
motorcycles better?
The worldwide patented EPIC by Nextec® finish helps shed moisture and stops
dust, dirt and tree sap from reaching your vehicles finish. The fabric
"breathes" to allow moisture, condensation and heat to easily escape from under
the cover. The encapsulation technology goes INSIDE the fabric, around the
fibers, resulting in a silky smooth finish that glides over fine paint finishes.
 Nextec engineers have
now married
solution-dyed fibers to the EPIC finish in an environmentally friendly process
that features much lower CO2 emissions! Also called "dope-dyeing" the
high-performance polyamide fibers require no dyeing after weaving, saving water
and energy consumption and slashing wastewater, a byproduct of traditional
surface dye processing. Using solution-dyed fibers can save as much as
1,000 gallons of water for every 1,000 yards of fabric produced!
Color permanency is the key to
our new WeatherShield®HP - the color is extruded INSIDE the fibers
for maximum fade resistance, NOT a surface dye coating. The result is a cover that's provides
all-weather protection, machine washable, fade resistant AND environmentally
friendly!
WeatherShield®HP will be
available in eight (8) colors and you can order your cover in single or two
color combinations. If have any questions or you'd like us to notify you
when the fabric is available please click on the email link below
(we do NOT sell names and we do respect your
privacy).
Choose From Eight (8) Colors! (you can even combine two on
a cover)

This magnified photo gives you an idea how the
immersion encapsulation
coats the fibers and fills the voids between the
threads with a breathable barrier to assure any moisture that does get under
the cover (or heat on a hot summer day) can easily escape through the fabric.
During evaporation moisture turns into vapor and the vapor is smaller than water
droplets so it easily transfers through the fabric. The base, high-strength, polyester fabric is
naturally UV resistant, but we've 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.
