I would use this to show my gravel bike a little love inbetween the regular torture sessions it gets. They’ve been assessed for ease of use, durability, fit and waterproofness, so whichever scenario you’re looking for coverage for, you should find a solution here.

When a manufacturer of tents was challenged to address the problem, the result was BikeParka – a high-quality, fitted water-proof cover for bicycles. The parka also has a mesh/taffeta lining, has handy side pockets and is ventilated on both the back and the forearms. Another commuter facing option, the Bike Parka bike cover is constructed from ripstop tarpaulin fabric, with taped seams.

Unfortunately, this comes with an increase in how quickly your bike will wear, but a good quality, full coverage bike cover can prevent this, and help your bike stay healthier for longer, reducing maintenance costs down the line. Designed in partnership with a tent manufacturer from New Zealand with a 25-year pedigree, the folks at BikeParka take pride in making great products that are up for any challenge. While it wasn’t as neat and compact as the Topeak or Oxford offerings, the material itself felt more sturdy, and so for regular commuting rather than occasional use, this might be something that tips the balance for you. Apart from that quality looks very good, it can be easily packed again in its pouch with no problems. Furthermore, the jacket has extra ventilation openings, a mesh/taffeta lining, a front zipper with an extra filling to prevent rain and side pockets.

The material is super stretchy, and so can accommodate a wide variety of shapes, though it's a little more involved to install given it goes on from the bottom rather than the top so as to protect flooring - take it from me, black chain grease is very hard to get out of a cream carpet. In the way that today’s all-weather cyclists have forgone the traditional cagoule in favour of waterproof, yet breathable jackets, so BikeParka offers a technical alternative to the basic tarpaulin. It’s going to be in the shadow and protected from rain (I needed the cover for dust and glare protection purposes), It has an advertised 3 year lifetime for indoors use… let’s see if it lasts 3 years! But obviously I wasn’t about to let my beloved bike suffer in the wind and rain – I need a suitable cover to keep my bike snug and protected from the elements.She will ride anything with two wheels, occasionally likes to go fast, definitely likes to go far and is always up for a bit of exploring somewhere new and exciting.

It won’t stop you from bending a mech hanger, but if you regularly transport a bike inside your car rather than using a bike rack, it represents a good way to keep it safe and stop trail muck from getting all over the upholstery. While all bike cover manufacturers will claim that their cover is effective and fits any kind of bike, BikeParka is certainly the best bike cover I’ve ever tried out. URBAN ARROW JACKET PROTECTOR AND CHILD'S FOOT GUARDDo you ever have a child on the back or wearing a long dress or coat? An adjustable fit avoids water ponding (The Bike Parka shown here does have a cinch strap to avoid this issue) (Image credit: Will Jones) How did we test the best bike covers?Some mention that it's easy to use and straightforward to put over the bike, while others say that it is difficult to put on and very fiddly to get on. You will be covered for the first 10 days of ownership against theft and accidental damage, so you can purchase with confidence. With an elasticated bottom and an adjustable tightener on the top, this is one cover that does what it promises.
