European winter boat cover material? Whatisit?

I just purchased a boat in Denmark. Its on the hard and covered with HEAVY nylon tarp. It Damn-near killed 2 of us covering the 27 foot boat.

The Danes, clever folks, have custom fitted covers, that are made of a felt-like breathable material. I have seen the same material used here in portugal on Lasers and Optimist dinghies.

My searches reveal what I think are a private trade name, Moisture-guard 2000. It is apparently a 900D polyester fabric with a polyurethane membrane.

I can find NOTHING about this material online. Given it is Denmark, they seem to know a bit about covering a boat in winter. Yet I find no evidence of this material being used in the US.

I have a ballpark bid of $2500 for a cover. Does this sound reasonable? Anyone know anything about this material, so I can do cost comparisons?

Apparently the material in question is called Fibertex F-43S UV Special.
