Default car jackets

Has anybody ever used one of those car jackets for winter storage ? If you have or know somebody who has I would appreciate some information about them.
Thanks

I haven't seen anything bad about them. I'm planning on trying one out this winter. Should be ordering it soon. Keep me updated if you find anything.

I have used the Car Jacket for at least five years. Used the Omni Bag prior to that. In either case, the way you put the car in the bag for winter storage is the way it comes out in the spring. A great way to protect you Vette from damaging condensation. The Omni Bag worked great as far as protecting the car, but it was a PITA to get the car in the bag. Not hard, just a pain. The Car Jacket provides adequate protection and is much more user friendly.

Do you put a traditional cover on your car prior to zipping it into the car jacket?

I put on a lightweight cotton cover followed by a heavier cotton/flannel cover. Then I lean cardboard against it to protect it from accidentally getting hit by my daily driver door. Actually I keep the card board leaning against the side year round. The battery is also removed.
