PEVA vs. PVC vs. Non-woven: What Actually Protects Your Car?

Almost every question we get from new buyers comes down to material. Here is the short version.

PEVA

Lightweight, fully waterproof and soft against paintwork. It is the right choice for everyday outdoor use in moderate climates and for indoor storage where you want breathability.

PVC

Heavier and tougher. PVC shrugs off standing water, UV and abrasion, which makes it the material we use for our long-term outdoor and winter covers. It is not breathable, so it suits covered or well-ventilated parking best.

Non-woven

Soft, breathable and gentle. Ideal as an inner layer or for indoor covers where the job is dust and scratches rather than rain.

Quick comparison

  • Waterproofing: PVC > PEVA > non-woven
  • Breathability: non-woven > PEVA > PVC
  • Weight: PVC > PEVA > non-woven
