Default Car Cover opinions

I've read a lot of threads and most agree that Covercraft makes a good product, but most of the threads are a little dated, so I was wondering if anyone has any new info or opinions. My S is being re-painted, and I don't have a garage and the winter is not too extreeme. Summers are H-O-T though.
Thanks for the input...

I love my OEM cover but I wish it was waterproof. Fits like a glove and keeps the leaves and sunlight off the paint. So what color are you going with?

A few more months I will have another garage.

Covercraft are great covers. The only thing with a cover (any cover) is that it WILL give you swirl marks...

The OEM cover is only a dust cover though. It's not meant for outdoor use...

Have used the covercraft cockpit cover for about 4 years. Has stood up well to the TX sun and heat. I use it every day during the spring, summer, and fall when it isn't raining.

It's water-resistant. In a down pour it'll get wet. The material needs to breath so it can't be totally waterproof...

i got one from car cover world for $155 plus S&H. It's made of NOAH fabric, custom cut for this car and fits great, even over the antenna and mirrors. They also provide a sack and lock/chain. So far wind has not managed to blow it off of the car.

The NOAH will keep the car dry if the rain is light, and dries pretty fast once it's soaked. You can choose other fabrics if you want.

There's a website, but i ordered over the phone.
