It says it doese and weathermax wich iis simmilar also but i wouldnt  think so.
And eouldnt count nt on it

IMHO, Topgun absolutely does not breath.   Mildew waiting to happen. I've used it for bimini tops, but would not use it for an enclosed cover.

I believe June is right. Non breathable.

I can't see how being poly coated on both sides like it is. Definatly vent. Strong stuff for sure though. Had some extra and made covers for my grille , a/c unit , and fire pit. Don't think they ever got wet in 5 years

I jooked st a card. It said mildew resistant but nothing  a kut breathabulity

Ya, it will not breath but it will mold. We use the boat vent dealies on topgun covers. As per cleaning is was going to suggest diluted bleach but Eric beat me to it.

In that link though-

The pigmentation in TOP GUN™ fabric will not migrate onto upholstery vinyls. If some surface rub-off should occur it can easily be removed with vinyl cleaner of mineral spirits. In areas where vigorous movement of the fabric against a hard surface will occur during use, use of a buffer strip is recommended.

I have had colour bleed through into vinyl before. Green and red especially. And if I'm supposed to put reinforcement on a topgun cover why wouldn't I just use (breathable) sunbrella? The main benefit of topgun IMO is that I don't have to add all kinds of patches to it.

I've had best results cleaning mildew with LAs totally awesome. I've been living with light colored topgun for 7 yrs. Other than that I use bleach and laundry detergent mixed 50/50 put on straight then add water a little at a time while scrubbing, and scrubbing, and scrubbing!
