The cover includes inner and outer telescopingly engaged tubular member constructed of flexible fluid impervious material and the inner tubular member includes features rendering it pervious to air flow therethrough. Also, at least one moisture absorptive spacing member is disposed between the outer and inner surfaces of the inner and outer tubular members.
