Another vote for the Argos one. They're cheap and do the job. I've used heavier and more expensive Oxford covers in the past and the Argos one is really all you need *

I tried a cheapy Lidl cover too and it was a bit carp. The Argos one's much better.

* unless, like me, you've got a really tall bike like a Triumph Tiger 1050.

+1 on the Argos cover!

Had mine for over 3 years and been brilliant! Tesco do a similar if not same one for the same price IIRC.

I love my Oxford Stormex. Managed to get it for a steal from J&S as they price matched a web price for me, think I paid £39 for it! They're too expensive at RRP but if you can find a good deal for one, I'd highly recommend one.

One thing to watch with covers is, in high wind they can help the wind to blow your bike over, I cured this by using an luggage strap, wrapped around the cover to stop it flapping, expanding or inflating during high winds.

Regards

Have any of you actually used your argos ones? both my Argos ones aren't great at all! Then again everyone i've owned has, all seem to let some water through, so i used to use 3 lol.
