Default Car Cover Outside

Is the noah still considered the best for outside?
Where is the best place to buy?
Thanks

i own the covercraft weathershield cover, it is not the best fit but it does keep your car 100% dry, that being said the material feels abrasive to the touch. i would go with the kimberly clark 4 layer covers, nice and soft ie no scratching on a clean car, fits like a glove. good when their is wind so it does not flat against your car and while it isnt 100% waterproof it is close.

I have used the noah covers and IMO it is a good cover. The price seems to be constant from the dealers and Mid-America Motorsports is the one I use.The cover should not be water proof because moisture will form in your interior and on your finish, the cover should breath.

I have used weathershield, not the HD one, Noah and mid amer flannel.
They all blow off a 30mph wind. Have to tie down. I use free weights. All seemed to keep the car pretty dry. I'm sticking with the weathershied because it folds up small, I store it in the cargo area and it's easy to wash n dry at home.
