I have a Noah that I like. I keep my car outside all the time and its held up very well. Keeps water off while still allowing it to breath.

I have a SLP cover. Fits great and is fine for general indoor use. For the interior and engine bay i just put a bunch of dryer sheets in and around my car. Also, around the car (not in it) i put out some moth ***** and one of those moisture capturing things (u can find them at storage rental places, prolly target too).

Another vote for Noah... I had my car outside for 2 winters with that cover... BEAUTIFUL... She's happy to be back in a garage with the cover now
