Default I need a car cover

That is completly water and snow proof. I do not want any water to pass thru to the car and be breathable. Is there any such cover?


What should I look for in a cover.

You do not want a cover that is completely waterproof. A completely waterproof cover would not be able to breathe and could be harmful to your car. Here are a few sites that might help you in choosing a fabric and cover that is right for you:

COVER FABRICS - Which One is Right for You?

CoverCraft (World's largest manufacturer of custom car covers.)

Kimberly-Clark (Manufacturer of a number of fabrics used in car covers.)

Hope these help. Good luck finding the right cover!

Check out this page. It's funny, I had it open because I was looking myself. Particularily pay attention to the Stormshield cover.

Here's a pic of the Stormshield (it comes in yellow)


Here's a link to the page at MidAmerica for all their covers.

I agree. You want something that will breathe. I've heard good stuff about Wolf (Wolfe?) covers. Check out Mid America. They have a good variety of covers.

I just ordered my 3rd wolf cover. I like the evolution 4 fabric. It is thick and breathes.

Seeing how its that time of the season, i'm searching for a car cover as well, but my needs are a little different. The car will be in the garage the whole winter but i would still like to have it covered. Just want something light, soft, and breathable for a decent price.

Same situation here. I have a nice C4 cover but I don't think it will fit. I should post it in the C4 section and pick up a nice cover for the Winter.
