EzyShade Car Cover Waterproof All Weather. See Vehicle Size-Chart. Size A5

Why it's worth it

EzyShade sells this in graded sizes with a chart that points you to your exact model, so it lands closer to custom than a generic large. Multi-layer fabric handles rain and sun, and three buckled straps plus mirror pockets keep it from shifting on a breezy night.

Sizing is where most universal covers fall apart, and EzyShade takes it seriously. You look your car up in the chart and get a size cut for that shape, not just that length. Mirror pockets on the car sizes pull the fabric taut across the doors. That tension is what stops the slow flapping that dulls paint over a season of windy nights.

The strap system is the reason we'd trust this one outdoors. Three adjustable straps run under the car with click buckles, so you can snug everything down after the cover is on rather than fighting it into place. Reflective strips help if you park on a street where someone might back into a silver lump at night. A side-door zipper lets you get in without stripping the whole thing off.

What we like

• +Sizing is where most universal covers fall apart, and EzyShade takes it seriously
• +The strap system is the reason we'd trust this one outdoors
• +The fabric is layered rather than a single sheet, which is what you want if rain is your main problem
• +Cable-lock compatibility matters more than it sounds

What to know

• –It's a graded fit, not a custom one, so you'll see some looseness — usually at the front bumper or around a squared-off rear
• –The straps do the heavy lifting here, which means the cover is only as secure as your habit of buckling all three
