What are the best outdoor car covers?

[STREETFIGHTER50]

So I ended up getting my Mustang back and now my BMW got kicked out of the garage. I’d like to get a fitted outdoor car cover for it and one for our fairly new Armada as well. Needs to be durable for the hot California summers and little bit of rain in the winters. I see so many different brands out there pretty much all claiming the same things. Recommendations please

I have weathersheild HPs for when my cars sit outside. Water does not get through them, that was my #1 requirement.

Stay away from SealSkin covers like your life depends on it.

There are no good outdoor covers for our area. With as much wind and dirt that blows here you wouldn't have any paint left!

Anyone have experience with Coverking Extreme Weave? Costco has a discount going on them.

They claim to be a guaranteed fit, they're not. When you order one they go through a process online for you to choose the exact car. When it arrives and doesn't fit they change their tune to "the covers aren't custom only approximate". They'll exchange them, if you want to go that route trying over and over to get one that fits correctly, but if you want a refund they'll charge a 20% restocking fee even though they sent a ill fitting cover. And that is their racket. Making money off the 20% fee.
Do a google and you'll see a theme of the same complaint.

Problem #2 is their advertising a "five layer" cover with photos of a heavy quilted material. What arrives is basically the same material as a cheap windbreaker with a fleece lining. Two layers IF that. When you call them out on that they still say it's five. But if you're unhappy you can return it.....minus the previously mentioned 20%.

I went back and forth trying to get a 100% refund and they refused to budge until I filed a complaint with the NY state BBB.

Spend the coin and get a California Car Cover. I have 1 for my nova and 1 for my camaro - they fit like a glove! https://www.calcarcover.com/custom-fit-car-truck-covers

Ok I just went a little cheap with Costco’s deal. We’ll see how they hold up

Duck Covers from Amazon work great. Fully waterproof and still breathe. I had a truck outside all winter and can say that they positively are waterproof. They make one that is thinner for dust, as well. And they are inexpensive, surprisingly.

I'm pleased with my Covercraft Noah. It is thick enough to protect my car from the sun and rain, yet the material is still breathable.
