Car Jacket Storage Covers
Does anyone use the "Car Jacket" brand auto cover? Supposedly it is a moisture proof car bag where you drive onto a bottom layer and then put the top layer on and zip the two together. They come with dessicant and apparently breathe out and allow minimal moisture in, limiting any corrosion while in storage
Would be interested in other's experiences and sizing recommendations for a C2. One of my cars is in a non-climate controlled self-storage unit due to some space limitations and I'd like to minimize any exposure to moisture from natural temperature changes, etc.

I have one and I love it! I store my 65' in my pole barn for the winter. After washing and waxing in the fall, I put down a big piece of plastic on the cement floor, then I lay the car jacket down un-ziped. I drive on the jacket, put my soft summer car cover on and then zip up the car jacket. I then add a couple more tarps over the car jacket for added protection from bats and other critters that might get into the pole barn. Then I sprinkle moth ***** around the perimeter of the jacket to keep mice out.
Never had a problem yet! The car always looks geat in the spring with NO signs of moisture damage. When you call to order one, they will ask you what car it is for and send you one that fits your car. They are plenty big and I really like mine.

Well the ol' noggin isn't what she used to be, but I think the price was around $250 to $300. Can't remember where, but I seen an ad in Corvette Enthusiest or Corvette Fever. Look through those magazines and you'll find the ad.

PS. The jacket comes w/ a bag for storage in the summer, a antenna plastic cover so you don't rip your car jacket and about 6 of those moisture absorbers. I was told by someone at work (mustang owner)that after using those moisture absorbers for a season, you can put them in your oven and dry them out. Then they are ready for next season (never tried it though, wife would kill me!)
