Given the roasting summer we have just experienced, it could be that bikers forego a waterproof cover and instead plump for a reflective UV-resistant summer cover to keep their motorcycle cool and protected if the mercury rises again. Oxford’s Solatex cover is made from a bonded material providing a UPF rating (which measures how much ultraviolet radiation is blocked by a fabric) of 50+, the highest rating available.
The seams are double stitched for extra strength, and there’s an elasticated hem to hold it in place and reduce flapping. A central belly strap and holes for lock access add security options. It comes in four sizes to suit bikes from scooters to tourers, and there’s even an option for machines with top boxes fitted. SRP is £29.99, or £34.99 for the top box compatible version.
