Cockpit Cover Material?

[Airpacker]

Well, the time has come. I need to have a new one made to replace my old sunbrella cover this season. Any suggestions as to the best, latest, greatest material to use?
Waterproof, breathable, durable ( I trailer with it on) , soft on paint and acrylic windshields.

Here a brief description of some used by Great Lakes. I'm looking for my notes from the canvas lady here in West Michigan. There is a really light-weight one she prefers now.

not necessarily pal. Oft times, they go with the lowest bidder.

I want the right stuff for the job, not the cheapest. It has to live at trailering speeds....my trailering speed that is :)
