Default Best car cover?

I was wondering what brand of car cover would be best for my '01 Camaro. I'll be joining the Army soon and I need a good quality cover for my car while I'm gone. I've seen the SLP cover and heard of the California cover not sure of any others. If you have any brands please tell me how they are so I can decide. Thanks in advance.

I have a cover from California Car Cover and it works great. Mine stays in the garage, but they have a whole line of covers from inside and out.

I have both the Wolf Noah and the SLP cover. If the car is going to be outside go with the Naoh, if inside go with the SLP. Both fit great.

It's a great cover but not totally weaterproof. If it rains that car will still get wet and you really don't want the moisture trapped under the cover and on the paint.

Unfortunately my car will be outside since we don't have a garage. My girls parents want to put up a cover over the side car port where my car will be.
