This is the second Ultimate Rain I've bought for my Sprint 900 so I must have liked it. The first one was bought in June 2018 and lasted over 2 yrs before deteriorating. I think the reason for the material degrading is UV damage so this Summer I'm going to put a thin uv reflective cover on top of it. Maybe this is something JDC could look at providing? Really good cover. Next best thing if you can't put it in a heated garage...with a cosy blanket...next to the armchair and the coffee machine no kids and the door firmly locked from the inside...I'm dreaming again...
