Default Car cover question

Looking for a good quality custom fit car cover for the Z06. I live in Phoenix, Arizona so not looking for a cover that is water repellent, but need maximum UV protection. This will now become my new daily driver including sitting out in the sun at work. Seems like there are a ton of different covers out there, but figured someone might have some good insight on quality, fit, protection, etc.

My vote is for the weathershield made with nextec by Epic. It costs a little more than the others but the fit on my vert is awesome. It is extremely light and folds into a very compact roll. I wash it no problems in the home washer. It doesn't lose its water repellancy because the repellent is manufactured into the material instead of applied. I cover my car at work to. My car is spotless. In fact, I have ordered 50 yards of the material. I have a carport and I am designing a shelter with PVC pipes and covering the thing with this nextec material to provide a fully sealed environment for the Vette. I will add a fan and filter for a sealed enclosure like the car capsule. Hope this helps. If you have the money, get the Weathershield HD.

Iv'e been using a NOAH cover for about a year, great cover decent price 150 bucks. I'm ready to retire it because the rain, snow and sun have wore it out. This isn't water proof, you don't want one that is, the cover needs to breathe or your car will be like a cave and the moisture build up will deteriorate your baby. The "Evolution 4" cover seems to be the best for the buck IMO.
