Any recommendations for a car cover .
Doesn't need to fit like "Yoga Pants" .. but not just like an old parachute.

Indoor. maybe an occasional out door (not in bad weather)

What do you guys use, that isn't 100s of $$$

Just bought a couple from SUMMIT racing. $50!
Fit is decent. Not thin as paper, Great value.

I bought three made of Tyvek, from Budge, $130 each and supposedly indoor/outdoor. They lasted exactly eight months outside. Four year warranty, lasted through one summer, NOT recommended. Hopefully their warranty service is better than their products. Not likely, I know, but we'll see.

Cover King are great quality, but not cheap. I like their lined silver guard models.

I've been using California Car Covers for years. Very good quality, good warranty. They have one for every type of use, indoor/outdoor heavy weather light weather etc. Not cheap for the most part.

Hey ... thanks for all the info .

Perhaps an interesting question...
If I was going to use this indoors ... wouldn't I be better with a breathable cover / not waterproof?
Seems if it was waterproof it would collect condensation in it.

Or is it more high tech than that, do the breathable ones really breathe ?

My girlfriend made me this one using heavier fabric that is also coated on the outside to be more water repellent.

It's been working great ...
