Product comes in BMW OEM box with BMW part number. The instruction manual states that this case is made of 3 layers of washable Noah material. It is gray in color and perfect for my 2013 X5. Didn't get a chance to try it in the rain, but it feels like a layered, breathable material. The kit comes with a storage bag, but the carrying straps are sewn to the case itself. Maybe you should stow the bag under the lid so as not to lose it? It has elastic around the front and back of the apron to wrap around and under bumpers to keep the cover stretched nice and straight. Eyelets on each side of the side skirts allow for the installation of an anti-theft cable. Locking cable or padlock not included. Anyway, I'm happy with my purchase.
