<<  Does anyone have any thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of a cover 
like this?  >>

I have one of these:  http://www.kayakcovers.com/

It's more expensive, but has held up well (not sure just how well Tyvek 
would).  I store my kayak atop my pickup and travel full-time in an RV.  So, the 
cover get lots of sun and wind.  In three years, the only problem I've had was 
when I drove (off-road) under a broken branch, and put a 12" tear in the side.  
But $15 at an upholstery shop, near Spearfish, SD, fixed it back up.  When 
(if) this one wears out, I'll get another just like it.
