Whats the BEST C5 car cover for SNOW
Looking for opinions/experience on the BEST C5 car covers that can withstand SNOW and ICE .
- soft inner that won't scratch paint
- breathable so it won't collect condensation
- waterproof layer so inner layers are protected
- tough outer shell that can take on snow and/or ice
- survive in outdoor conditions No garage No carport
Thanks in advance

The wall. I live in the Northeast and love my cover.
Corvette America has them. They also sell on ebay. They go for around $90. No need to spend $300 on an outdoor cover.
The wall also fits like a glove, very tight fit.

I'm pulling the '37 apart this winter, so I need the whole garage. So the Vette gets to sit outside, its first winter out, EVER. It doesn't really bother me though since it wont see any salt. I too am looking for a good car cover.

Had one for my C4 and it was outside for a snow storm. Worked great. Now we have two for the C5's..

I'm fortunate to have never needed a cover, so I can't offer anything constructive there. Much like all the other posters who are giving you info you didn't ask for and don't need. Good luck with your choices.

I just bought a storm guard cover, does all that but yea, it was $300, actually more I think, like $360. But meh, I supported a vendor (southerncarparts) and have piece of mind and I don't have to build a shed and violate condo rules. Nothing too good for my C5.
It matches my car and fits perfectly, has the emblem on it so all will know what is under there.

I have had the Stormguard, the Wall and the Noah wolf.
The Noah wolf ripped at the seam, twice. Soon as the snow covered the car and melted, it ripped.
The Stormguard was a good cover, The only reason I had to get rid of that was a house 3 streets over caught fire and the ashes made small holes in the cover. Needless to say it saved the car, but the cover was trashed.
I now have the Wall, very good in the rain, no soaking up of the water and dries without leaving the white powder on the car that some covers do. It is the most snug fit cover of the three. Cost less that 1/4 the price of the Storm and 1/2 the price of the Wolf.
So IMHO the Wall is my choice.
