I use a car cover from Covercraft.  It is made of soft light tan
colored cotton with a flannel lining inside.  Very soft, does an
excellent job shielding the car from the sun when parked outside,
and can be folded into a relatively small lump for stowage in the
trunk.

I wouldn't use this cover in wet weather, though.

I once had a cover made of the Evolution 3 material, but found it
to be too thick and unwieldy.  It took up too much trunk space even
when folded.  I don't know if the Evolution 4 is much better in this
regard.
