Car Cover

Hi All
I am looking for recommendations as to what car covers are good for storing a camaro outdoors for the winter. I live in Chicagoland and therefore must be able to deal with snow and cold. I thank you in advance.

There are many types of breathable fabrics available. The big difference in price between the cheap covers (and tarps) and the good covers is due to the breathable fabrics. Never ever cover a car with a non-breathable cover. Condensation build-up under the cover can do lots of damage.
I have the max cover from empire its a 3 layer cover made from Tyvek developed by DuPont.

86EYEROC,
Now that is really nice and all but it is for indoor use only and unfortunately my car will be outside. Plus, it is limited on space, a parking spot. And under a big pine tree.

Re: Car Cover

Yes i know they say indoor use only, but it would provide more protection then just a car cover.

In a parking space under a pine tree? Been in the same situation and went a rented a storage bin to put mine in. I couldent leave mine outside in the weather all winter for 5 or 6 months.
