Default Car Covers

I've been looking into weatherproof car covers for my 05 GT, and I see there are quite a few options, most of which are $100.00+. I would like it to be as waterproof as possible, because it has to survive Chicago winters. I realize no fabric cover can be completely waterproof, but I'd like something to protect it from the elements. Have any of you guys had a good experience with one brand over another? Any advice is appreciated.

Covercraft is usually considered one of the best, if not THE best. I have an indoor storage cover from them and it fits my car like a glove. They have up to 8 different covers for depending on what you plan on using it for.

They aren't cheap though, I think I paid about $220 for it. In the end, you get what you pay for. Also consider since storing outside, winds and whatnot. If it's not a fitted cover, wind CAN take a cover off in some situations.

Covercraft was one of the brands I was looking at, and they seem pretty good. Plus, my store carries Covercraft covers, so I might be able to find one in one of our warehouses and get a discount on it. Since yours is an indoor cover, I doubt it, but does it have plastic or metal grommets to bungee it tight? That would be a selling point for me.
