Which outdoor cover to choose

I need an outdoor cover, so seek advise here.

Have had two Covercraft in the past and they aere great, but pricey (£230+).

Classic Additions are £100-£150 - any views ?

Any other options or does someone have a used one for sale ?

I had a Classic additions breathable one for a while when I had no Garage, kept the rain off but what it doesn't do very well is allow the condensation evaporate easily, in fact it traps it. I would go to my car 9am on a cold Sunday morning and every other car was bone dry having dried off in the sun but mine would be sopping underneath the cover. Nothing like cold metal to condense the UK's moisture out of the atmosphere. I came to the conclusion I was better of without.

The best bet is a Carcoon and dehumidifier but £££, but cheaper than a rusty car.

I'm told the Tyvek ones are good from Halfords and certainly cheaper than the ones aimed at Porsche drivers.

if I was keeping a car outside I would just use plenty of Zymol etc & no cover. As mentioned covers can potentially cause more probs than without
