Default Car Cover

Just picked up a '19 C7 Z51. I am keeping my two C6s. My garage is now full. So, my beloved '10 GS has to sleep outside. What type of cover are you guys using for outdoors. I live in New Jersey where we have four seasons, all kinds of weather. Thanks.

I have a Microbead. Purchased May 2018. Very light, soft inside and comes with 3 straps and a cable with lock. Recently water seems to be getting thru the material where water sits. Also it just ripped where I pulled the strap tight and pulled down on the cover. So it lasted about 14 months.
Someone on one the the threads mentioned intro Tech covers. I looked at them on Amazon and it looks like the same cover as my Microbead.
I am also looking to see if their are other covers that people on here like.If not i may buy another Microbeaad or maybe an Intro Tech.

Covercraft makes a good all weather cover. Very few if any are actually water proof. For a cover to function properly it must be able to breathe.

UPDATE...Just got off the phone with Microbead...now called MCARCOVERS...They asked me to send pics of the rips. It has a lifetime warranty. Looks like they will be replacing it. Will update.
