What size?
Any type of cover people have found last for longer than year or so, without
falling apart in the super hot English sun?

I use Oxford Stormex, but they only last about a year, as the adhesive on the seams goes dry and they then leak.
Still the best I've used though.
All covers are bad for trapping condensation in winter unfortunately.

I also use a Storm Protector framed tent thing for another bike. This works better, especially with a Stormex cover on the bike too, and an 80W electric tube heater on a timer.

I use the large size covers.

I use a garage.
It keeps the rain off quite well, and is showing no signs of UV deterioration.

"super hot English sun" What part of England is that?

I was wondering the same

Chris.

I have a Armadillo cover which is pretty good, they have 3 sizes available, this is the largest and has I have 2 project bikes inside comfortably. It’s less than a year old but seems pretty sturdy and durable.

Looks very similar to my 'Storm Protector'

Isn't England bright and sunny?

Actually I have two garages, but didn't want to flaunt my privileges.
Suggest you get a second garage.
Or buy a posh bike that you can keep in the living room, freeing up space in your garage for the everyday ones.

My garage is full of heavy iron and the second one.

Did i mention the crappy JDC cover?
Well I bought another one!
