I don't think a completely waterproof cover is a good thing - it needs the ability to expel water under the cover, whether from water on the paint or from the ground below.

For outdoor use, I'm an old-fashioned guy - I prefer Evolution material. It's 4 layers thick, so it has door ding protection. NOAH offers the same environmental protection, but it's only 3 layers thick. The plus - easier to store/less bulky. The minus - less door ding/hail protection.

For indoor use, I use Dustop, which is the state-of-the-art replacement for flannel lined cotton (it won't absorb moisture from humidity, and traps 3X as much dust from migrating through the cover as flannel lined cotton).

My covers are made by Covercraft. All 3 materials above are made by Kimberly Clark, and might be sold under other names by cover companies.

The lowest price shouldn't be your deciding factor - go for good fit (custom with mirror pockets) and good service.
