The honda cover's only for dust. I have the covercraft weathershield, it's AMAZING hos small it is, i put mine in it's bag in the trunk when it's not on, it fits in the well at the bottom of the trunk. I've even gotten it under the false floor (my tool box is not down there). Really small, amazling protective against rain, uv, everything!

California car covers seem to be the really nice ones. I have one, but its just the light dust one as the supra sits under it in the garage during the winter........but I know people who use the real heavy duty ones for outdoors and they love them

The cover I bought (from Calif. Car Cover) is a nylon type with pockets for the 2 side mirrors and antenna. It's really light weight and fits the car like a glove.

I dont care if the car gets wet, so long as the cover breathes it can dry and won't condense and cause rot, right?

and which of these covers best fits in a washing machine? I've learned the hard way a car cover is pointless if you can't clean it!

The cover I bought does allow air to pass through. A small amount of dust gets through but blows off as I drive.

I've used a lot of fabrics on different cars, all were parked outside and covered for protection from dust and sun. I'm not a fan of using them in the rain as they almost always leak thru and can cause stains if they don't breathe or dry properly. Plus the rain makes a real mess of the cover itself.

Evolution 4: thick, soft, heavy. I guess it would protect from dings, but it was probably too bulky for a small car like the S2k.

Tyvek Plus: Not sold by Covercraft, probably not anyone anymore. Consisted of Tyvek (stuff fedex envelopes are made of) bonded to a soft cotton liner. Less bulky than Evolution or Noah, excellent reflection of sun (it's white). Starting to look a bit tattered after 4 years.

Noah: Functionally pretty similar to Evo 4 as far as I could tell, supposedly better against rain and extreme weather but it still seeped thru if allowed to soak.

WeatherShield: This is what I chose for the S2000, mainly because of the small storage size. It's really compact, and a side benefit is that it goes in a regular washer. I think these reasons alone make it worth it. Supposedly it is great in the rain too but I haven't tried it. Only downside is that it's expensive.

As for where to get them, a lot of the places sell basically the same covercraft covers.
