Bought car cover, like it

A while back I asked for the List's advice on car covers and the best
suggestion came from Larry Leung who suggested I look at the Weathertech
cover for the '86. I wound up buying a NOAH cover from Car Covers Direct
with the Kimberly-Clark 4-layer NOAH fabric. This was a custom-fit cover
and it took them about 10 days to ship to me, but it is indeed precisely
tailored to the lines of the car and fits very well down to the bottom of
the wheels, with nice "gathers" on the front and rear. The cost was $210
and for that price I'm pleased right now with the protection. After all the
rain we've had recently in Massachusetts I am going to remove the cover
today and see how well it's been sealed, but I bought this because it's
billed as an "outdoor" cover with superior UV and weather protection. I
need that for the red paint on the car.
If you visit their website, you'll see that this is a mid-priced cover but
at this point it seems to be working well. If it lasts and performs as
advertised (and I will be sure to update the List about its performance)
I'll think it was really worth the money.
