| Evolution/Techalon: Bulky. UV turns it to dust in 3 years. Not terribly water repellent. Poly cotton. 2-3 year life. Not water repellant at all. Sunbrella: 10 year life but you will probably have to Scotch Guard it every year or 2 or you will loose all water repellency. . Great sun protection. Not too bulky. DO NOT put in a dryer. Weather Shield: Very compact. Not great in wind. Excellent water repellency. Not as good at screening the sun as Sunbrella. Easy to wash and dry. Fragile after 3 - 4 years. Zero ding protection but that's true of most if not all fabrics. Weather Shield HD: Very water repellent. Screens sun well. My Covercraft bought from Big Sky fits very well. Difficult to wash. I have one for my TT and one for my DD A3. Expensive but, I think, worth it. I have always put a cover on my Z's since 1980. Not only do they keep the paint from fading or, worse cracking, they also keep the interior looking good longer. info URL's: [ http://www.miata.net/faq/carcover.html ]
