The Covercraft WeatherShield HP Custom Car Cover (C18322PG) is one of Covercraft's most popular all-weather, high-performance car covers, engineered to deliver outstanding protection for both indoor and outdoor storage. Crafted from a proprietary single-layer fabric developed in partnership with Nextec Applications, this cover offers an ideal balance of weather resistance, breathability, and paint-safe softness.
At the heart of the WeatherShield HP is the patented EPIC® by Nextec encapsulation process. Silicone-based polymers are worked deep inside each woven fiber using heat and pressure, filling all but the smallest micro-pores. This creates a cover that repels water, dust, dirt, bird droppings, tree sap, and acid rain — without the use of laminates or surface coatings that could harm your paint finish.
Key Features:
- Dramatic water dispersion — sheds moisture immediately on contact; fabric retains less than 2% of its own weight in water and dries in minutes with a quick shake
- Fully breathable — micro-pores allow trapped heat, moisture, and condensation to escape freely from under the cover
- Superior paint protection — silky-smooth silicone polymer finish glides over paint without abrasion; no laminates or surface coatings
- Solution-dyed fibers — color pigments are extruded into the fibers themselves (not surface-dyed), delivering maximum fade resistance and longer-lasting color
- Ultra-lightweight and compact — weighs only 5 oz. per square yard; packs into approximately 1/3 the volume of traditional multi-layer covers
- Machine washable — mid-size and smaller covers can be washed and dried in standard home laundry units
- Custom fit — precision-tailored to your specific vehicle with elastic sewn into the front and rear hems for a secure, snug fit
- Reinforced grommets — non-scratch grommets at the cover's lower hem protect paint during installation and removal
- Made in the USA — handcrafted at Covercraft's domestic facility
- 4-year warranty — backed against fabric flaws and workmanship defects
The WeatherShield HP is suitable for use in virtually any climate and works equally well indoors or outdoors. Its breathable design helps prevent mold and mildew buildup, making it a strong choice for humid environments. The Gray (PG) colorway features solution-dyed fibers for lasting color integrity.
Note: For regions with extremely intense sun exposure such as Southern California or Arizona, Covercraft recommends upgrading to the WeatherShield HD or Sunbrella fabric options.
