Default Car cover recommendations

What car cover would you guys recommend for use outdoors(under car port)? The traditional Wolf car cover that is really heavy/thick or one of the stretchy/thin covers?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I would get one of the all weather type even if it is under a carport. Covercraft makes a top quality cover.

Stormproof from Corvette Central, had mine 23 years and it works great. Weather proof, UVresistant, breathable, and dust proof.

Get a thicker one; it will protect better against kids, pets, etc.
