When I tried this product I was amazed at how well it shielded my bike FROM the rain .The waterproof material really works wonders. It's a great investment for any automotive enthusiast or sportsman who wants to keep their motorcycle safe from the elements. The only drawback is that it can be a bit tricky to install at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's smooth sailing. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend it..
