Default Outdoor car cover suggestions?

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but it seemed the most fitting forum.

Unfortunately I have no option but to store my Z outdoors (in Massachusetts for that matter) for the coming year or so, I've been looking at a number of car cover options. Sad, but the pay at the new job is worth it. Did a quick search and could only find mention of the indoor dust covers, which doesn't suit my needs. Anyone have any experience with outdoor covers? Was looking at some options from

Any insight is appreciated.

There’s a couple of threads around here on this subject.
IIRC, many use the OEM Nissan cover and highly recommend it.
Myself, I’ve got and recommend Wolf car covers. I’ve used it for the first two years of my Z ownership before I had a garage and it worked very well at keeping the elements out.

The OEM cover has an amazing fit, and I think it's great! I highly recommend it

The best outdoor cover I have found is the Weathershield HD. The cover is fantastic. My 350Z is covered outside 24/7 and I would not use any other cover on it. It stays completely dry and practically dust free.

I own two of these covers for my outside cars. They are pricey but well worth it.

I found some decent ones from empire. This cover was a replacement cover for a custom cover that cost three times as much and started leaking water and collecting dust under the cover in less than a year. My Empire cover is 4 months old, has survived numerous strong thunderstorms and seering Texas sun, and so far is exceeding my expectations. I have 3 cars under cover, soon the other two will be covered by Empire.

What if you live in an area where it snows in winter? If you must occasionally drive your car in the winter, isn't it a bad idea to use a car cover outside, b/c of the chance the cover can freeze to the paint? I suppose this wouldn't be a problem if you put the car cover on before frost and do not take it off until the spring thaw..
