Jimmy Cover - Which would you buy?

LMC 3000 Universal cover:
Superior Protection at a Great Value
- soft cushioning fabric protects your paint.
- Superior breathable 3-layer fabric is highly water resistant, even during downpours
- no-leak construction achieved through ultrasonic welding
- UV-stable materials ensure a long life
- Ideal for long term vehicle storage

$118.70 shipped

-OR-

Wolf 200 Custom fit cover:
Great Performance at a Value Price
- Outdoor Or Indoor Use
- Strong 3 layer fabric
- Lightweight - easy to handle and store
- Highly breathable
- Water resistant
- 2-Year Warranty

$120.99 shipped

Whats your opinion? This will be for outside winter storage in northern Ohio. I am considering putting this cover on then covering the cover with a tarp for better protection. My Jimmy is only a 20 footer but the tarps are really hard on paint so I want the cover for paint protection.

Re: Jimmy Cover - Which would you buy?

I've used evalution 3 covers on some of my cars. Don't know about which company is better. But I'd stay away from covering the cover with a tarp. Those covers are made to breath. And the tarp will hold moisture in. Not a good idea.

Truer words were never spoken! Dont go near any vehicle you want to preserve outdoors with a tarp. I see it all the time and can only shake my head and sigh.
Actually,if you live in snow country, unless you can get it under a shelter, I beleive you are on a slow road to turning your truck back to iron ore.

Actually the road to iron ore is driving in the winter. I like my chances sitting under cover.



I appreciate the comments so far, but I am trying to do the next best thing to leaving it uncovered outside.

So has anyone used the LMC or Wolf covers?
