My '05 vert lives outdoors 24/7/365 about 50 yards from the Pacific Ocean. Needless to say there's plenty of weather conditions to protect my car from, not to mention the never ending birds!
I've tried several covers including Noahs, which all fell apart after a couple seasons or less.
Cost - about $300. I certainly wouldn't pay a penny more. There are a lot of vendors that sell the same exact product. Search around for the lowest price. You may stumble on a sale.
This also makes an excellent indoor cover as well because it is very light weight and easy to put on & take off.
It's custom fitted for any model Corvette (even widebodies) light weight and virtually water proof. After a couple months I just throw it in the washing machine and let it air dry. Looks great again! I keep it folded up inside one of the cubby holes. Highly recommended

A solid cover would be the Stormproof Cover. It does not have an inside liner. It's main purpose is to keep UV rays off the vehicle.

The best cover IMO for outdoors is the autobody armor

I have a coverking autobody armor car cover. It is great in my opinion. It has very good ratings listed on the website. I wanted one that was soft inside. I am happy with mine.

AFAIK Covercraft does guarantee them for 5 (or maybe 10) years: sales@covercraft.com
My 1st Covercraft WeatherShield HP cover I washed every couple weeks and I think I may have shortened the life in doing so. However I got over 3 years of solid protection from it and felt I got my moneys worth so I didn't bother complaining about a replacement under warranty.
On my second now and am only washing every couple months. Holding up great

I now have the Weathershield HP and it has been great cover. Keeps the rain drops from spotting and protects the car well so far. My other cheaper Covercraft did a good job for 2 years then broke down. They stood by it though so I can't complain.
