Default All season car covers... Which one to buy?

My 2 car garage is 1/2 filled with tools, compresssor, snow blower, etc.

Since getting my car back from paint it has been in the garage occupying the other 1/2 but will soon be kicked out by my wife's suv (can't fight city hall!)

I have looked at various cover craft all season covers in the $300 range

Anyone have any experience with these or other all season covers?

Joe, my car is parked outside year round. I am very happy with the Covercraft Weathershield HP. I have the car covered probably 7-8 months out of the year and the cover is about 3 years old and still in great shape. I've tried a few others and this was by far the best. I just bought one for my Tacoma also.

I have 2 Cover King Silvercrest covers and very happy with them. The one on my 914 is 3 years old and it still fits tight and does not blow off on windy days. That said I don't have snow or rain to deal with just intense sun and dust storms.

I have two Coverking Silverguard Plus for my S2's that fit perfectly and have held up well. One has been outside for the last two years and has held up well in the sun. It fits snug enough that I don't get any dust under the cover when it is windy. It also has a very soft fleece lining on the inside against the paint.

I bought them on Amazon for about $165; if you watch you can pick them up on sale.
PM me if you want the link.

I'm considering getting a car bubble and covering that with another tarp cover for winter, whichever car ends up outside.
