Zip-up/sealed bike cover?

I need an indoor bike cover that is well sealed to stop stuff getting in - my wife is a dog groomer and works in the garage, as such the hair and grime gets everywhere and has gummed up my drivetrain in the past. I'd like to keep it a bit nicer so I don't have to strip it all down to remove oily dog hair from my cassette and rear mech all the time!

Probably a bit of a niche requirement but all the covers I'm seeing are ones that just go over the top, which I have now and it doesn't really work, it still gets in from underneath. Ideally I want something that fits the longer wheelbase and wider bars of a MTB, that I can place the bike on/in then zip it up to the top. Probably best if it's not waterproof so it's breathable if the bike goes in wet. Any ideas?

Mattress delivery/shipping cover?

30 quid, if that. Some are breathable, if they aren't, just put a few (tiny) holes in it.

We just have a big plastic bag made from DPC sheet - I taped it all up and the bike bag lives in there to keep the damp off and mould forming.

That's a great shout, cheers! Found a few on Amazon that look like they'll do the job for under £20.

There used to be "CTC plastic bike travel bag" available, but no more.
