Looking for a decent size and waterproof cover. Every one I've looked at online seems to have at least a couple of reviews saying it's not waterproof :(
I know I could just spray coat it (and I'll probably do this down the line anyway) but I want one that's waterproof to start with!
Any recommendations?

As other have said, I use the Prestige Carp Porter one, if you're local to Basildon worth giving them a buzz and popping down 👍🏻

I use a poncho - as per Gerry's comments about a basha - far more versatile, I use mine for all sorts - including on the odd occasion I need to cover my gear on the barrow - use it to cover my chair if I leave it out, quick to slip on if you get a run when its tipping it down, and with a couple of long storm poles, bivvy pegs, a pair of guy ropes and bungies - makes an awsome canopy over the front of my brolly giving you shade in sun. Packs down to almost nothing.
I had a webtex one for years until it went missing when I let my eldest use it on her DofE - great bit of kit - but have the Helikon tex MTP one now - not quite as good as the webtex one I had, but plenty good enough.
As a barrow cover, I just load it up, lay it over the top and pull the bungies over the whole thing.
No need to lug around your waterproofs in the summer too - just leave it in your bag in case you get caught out in a down pour in the summer.

I put my groundsheet over mine
Another use for my Basha / barrow cover

Thinking anglers do one. Rolls up small and has elastic tags to hook/peg or whatever you want.

Thinking Anglers cover up is really good and a fair price.
Really waterproof and can be used to a multitude of things.

I ordered the Prestige XL then saw your post. So I ordered one of those too.
I'm sure I'll find a use for both
As usual, thanks for all the advice guys
