best outdoor car cover?

Unfortunately, the garage is full and my 944T will have to sit outside .
As such, I need the best car cover and would appreciate any feedback.

thanks
rick

My car sits outside year round also. I recently bought a WeatherShield HP cover though AJUSA last year to replace a 4 or 5 year old Tyvek cover. Its an excellent cover and i am very happy with it.. i expect it will last a long time. Cost was $230 shipped after using a $40 coupon.

They have coupon codes often and i bet will have another one coming up for the 4th of July.. may be worth waiting to save the extra money.

I think Thoroughbred Covers are the best, but I do own the company! Seriously, we won the best buy award when a British car magazine thoroughly tested the covers, including lab tests for breathability, waterproofness after UV exposure(the Arizona sunshine test), dust resistance etc.

SORRY, PREVIOUS MESSAGE GOT SENT BEFORE COMPLETION.
NB we do not ship to the USA or Canada, but do ship to the everywhere in the rest of the world. This is simply because products liability insurance for those two countries is so expensive(ask your ambulance chasing lawyers why!!!!) that it is not economic .

Try carcoversdirect.com, they have the weathershield HD and other flavors. If you decide you like something from them say you know Al the race car guy that they sponsor and ask for the 'discount' for people I know.

Al - thanks for the note... I just moments before dropped the money at AJUSA, but appreciate your response and kindness.

thanks all!

Find a good weather proof one- I have an OE Porsche car cover that my dad bought me and it fits like a perfect glove- but its not so water resistant. It rained a little bit and got completely soaked outside and in. Makes more of a sun protector or dust cover than a really good car cover.
