A hail cover for a vehicle is provided having a deformable, inflatable body member with attachment straps and an inflation tube extending therefrom. The body member has a plurality of apertures disposed therethrough. The body member is placed over top portions of a vehicle and secured thereto with the attachment straps. Once secured a user can enter their vehicle and inflate the cover to create a protective layer for the vehicle while safely inside of the vehicle. The plurality of apertures provide for a fluid-dynamic structure to the cover to assist with stabilizing the position of the cover during turbulent winds.

1. A covering, comprising: an inflatable cover having an inner layer, an outer layer, and a perimeter edge comprising a front edge, a rear edge, a right side edge, and a left side edge, wherein said inflatable cover is configured to form an interior between said inner layer and outer layer adapted to be repeatedly filled with, and discharged of, fluid;an inflating tube extending from one location of said perimeter edge and configured to be in fluid communication with said interior;a valve to selectively permit flow of said fluid to and from said interior via said inflating tube;at least one securing strap attached to one location of said perimeter edge and configured to removably secure said covering to an ancillary object; and,a plurality of apertures formed into said inflatable cover, each configured to extend from said outer layer to said inner layer without disturbing fluid containment within said interior;wherein said covering is configured to be placed on top of said ancillary object, removably secured to said ancillary object, and selectively inflated and deflated via said inflation tube and said valve means. 2. A covering, comprising: an inflatable cover having an inner layer, an outer layer, and a perimeter edge comprising a front edge, a rear edge, a right side edge, and a left side edge, wherein: said inflatable cover is configured to form an interior between said inner layer and outer layer and adapted to be repeatedly filled with, and discharged of, fluid;said inflatable cover is configured to provide impact protection when inflated; and,an inflating tube extending from one location of said perimeter edge and configured to be in fluid communication with said interior, wherein said inflating tube is connected to said inflatable cover via an adapter having a valve to selectively permit flow of said fluid to and from said interior via said inflating tube;at least one securing strap attached to one location of said perimeter edge and configured to removably secure said covering to an ancillary object; and,a plurality of apertures formed into said inflatable cover, each configured to extend from said outer layer to said inner layer without disturbing fluid containment within said interior;wherein said covering is configured to be placed on top of said ancillary object, removably secured to said ancillary object, and selectively inflated and deflated via said inflation tube and said valve means. 3. The covering recited in claim 2, wherein said valve means is a quarter-turn ball valve. 4. The covering recited in claim 2, wherein said inflatable tube and said adapter are configured to receive pressurized air from a human mouth using human lung capacity. 5. The covering recited in claim 2, wherein said inflatable tube and said adapter are configured to receive pressurized air from an ancillary compressed air source adapted with a coupling means to fluidly connect said ancillary compressed air source to said inflatable tube. 6. The covering recited in claim 2, wherein at least one of said securing strap is elastic. 7. The covering recited in claim 2, further comprising a fastener disposed on a distal end of at least one of said securing strap to removably secure said covering to said ancillary object. 8. The covering recited in claim 7, wherein said fastener means comprises a hook. 9. A covering configured to be removably attached to a vehicle, comprising: an inflatable cover having an inner layer, an outer layer, and a perimeter edge comprising a front edge, a rear edge, a right side edge, and a left side edge, wherein: said inflatable cover is configured to form an interior between said inner layer and outer layer and adapted to be repeatedly filled with, and discharged of, fluid;said inflatable cover is configured to provide impact protection when inflated;said inflatable cover is substantially rectangular forming four corners along said perimeter edge; and,said inflatable cover is configured to substantially cover all upper surfaces of said vehicle;an inflating tube extending from one location of said perimeter edge and configured to be in fluid communication with said interior, wherein said inflating tube is connected to said inflatable cover via an adapter having a valve means to selectively permit flow of said fluid to and from said interior via said inflating tube;a plurality of securing straps, each configured to removably secure said covering to a chassis of said vehicle, wherein a securing strap extends from each corner and at least one location of said perimeter edge; and,a plurality of apertures formed into said inflatable cover, each configured to extend from said outer layer to said inner layer without disturbing fluid containment within said interior;wherein said covering is configured to be placed on top of said vehicle, removably secured to said vehicle, and selectively inflated and deflated via said inflation tube and said valve means. 10. The covering recited in claim 9, wherein said valve means is a quarter-turn ball valve. 11. The covering recited in claim 9, wherein said inflatable tube and said adapter are configured to receive pressurized air from a human mouth using human lung capacity. 12. The covering recited in claim 9, wherein said inflatable tube and said adapter are configured to receive pressurized air from an ancillary compressed air source adapted with a coupling means to fluidly connect said ancillary compressed air source to said inflatable tube. 13. The covering recited in claim 9, wherein at least one of said securing strap is elastic. 14. The covering recited in claim 9, further comprising a fastener means disposed on a distal end of at least one of said securing strap to removably secure said covering to said chassis. 15. The covering recited in claim 14, wherein said fastener means comprises a hook. 16. The covering recited in claim 9, further comprising: at least one eyelet disposed on said perimeter edge and said corner; and,wherein each securing strap extending from said cover is routed through said eyelet and secured onto itself via an attachment means. 17. The covering recited in claim 16, wherein said attachment means comprises a crimp-type fastener. 18. The covering recited in claim 9, wherein said inflatable tube is configured to be selectively routed through a window of said vehicle and accessed by an occupant of said vehicle while said covering is placed on top of said vehicle. 19. The covering recited in claim 9, wherein said plurality of apertures is configured to equalize external air pressure along said outer and inner layers. 20. The covering recited in claim 9, wherein said plurality of apertures is arranged in rows substantially parallel and orthogonal to each other.
