The cheapest would be a blue tarp from Home Depot - $10

EMPI, around $69, will rot, decompose, disintegrate and self destruct in 6 mo.s or less. Sometimes cheap is just that, cheap. My current cover is a WOLF brand, from WW and was about $150. It is now three years old, and still in perfect shape. If you need cheap, then buy a tarp, as suggested above. I guarantee it will last longer than a "cheap" cover.

No need to buy a cheap cover that won't protect the vehicle. I would wait, save and get a Wolf brand. I have two Wolf brand covers and they are super, even rated for snow.

I bought bfy's cheap cover (60$) and it completely fell apart in 4-5 months in the outdoor sun in california for my vw bug, they replaced it free but same thing happened to the replacement cover in the same time frame. Sounds like the WW brand is much better.

exactly what everyone else is saying. I bought the cheap empi one and it shreaded in like 3 months. I have wolf covers that have lasted 15 years so far.

Sounds like the WW brand is much better. Your cover from BFY was an EMPI. Thats where I picked up the empi cover that totally rotted in less than 6 mo.s. Darren, the owner at BFY was cool about it, and offered an exchange or an exchange with a paid (by me) upgrade to empis "better" (?) cover, or a refund. I took the refund and bought the wolf. They are a quality item, well known, and I've highly reccomended the brand to all my friends, regardless of what they drive. Worth every cent. They are sold through many places, as well as through wolfsburg west.

I agree, Darren was great about replacing the cover, it probably would have been a good one for a garage kept vehicle. My next one will definately be from some else.
