Hail Protector Car Cover

When the gods are angry and decide to lob softball-sized pieces of frozen rain at your car, you can count on the Hail Protector Car Cover to defend your automotive pride and joy.

We’ve all been there. The sky darkens, lightning flashes, and we hear the machine-gun sound of hail slamming against the roof. At times like this, it could take some effort to talk yourself out of rushing out and using your own body as a shield against Nature’s fury. Fortunately, you no longer have to make that kind of sacrifice because this patented Hail Protection System will do the protecting for you.

The cover is made up of two layers. The first layer straps to the wheels and under the car, while the second creates the padded outer protection by having four blowers puff the Protector up like a giant balloon… but this balloon can handle hail the size of softballs.

You don’t have to worry about the Protector going to waste either because a smartphone app, which is available for iOS and Android, uses information from the National Weather Service to provide a warning 30-60 minutes before a storm hits. No smartphone? No problem because the system also sends an email alert.
