most tarpaulins are not good at waterproofing, they are woven, so rain will run off, but drizzle or snow will get through

Problem with a tarpaulin is no water can evaporate out, like the expensive 'breathable' covers do, so it'll trap moisture underneath.

Spend your money.

Cheap covers are cheap for a reason.

Had a cheaper one, it was ****. This one is 100% waterproof.

The day the Monsoon cover came i had to thaw the old one off the car.
