Car Cover

Does anyone know of any car covers for dolomites. If not then could anyone perhaps recommend a good un tailored one, because they all seem to say they are the best because they use their particular trademarked fabric. Any ideas???

I've a monsoon for the GT6 and it worked well for the winter it was outside. They are breathable but I still found it benefitted from being removed whenever the weather permitted. No experience of any others apart from Argos cheap and nastie jobs. They are OK for a short period but not great.<br>

Being on a tight budget, I've used both of the Halford's offerings. The really cheap one is rubbish, it doesn't breathe at all, and the car is always damp when you take the cover off.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, the more expensive one (about £30) was much better. It's waterproof, and very breathable (put it onto a damp car in the evening, and the next morning the car's pretty much dry).
