When choosing the perfect vehicle cover, it is extremely important to take into account the climate in which you live.  Why?  Because the weather in Massachusetts is much different than the weather in Florida.

Here is a step-by-step guide for you to help choose the right cover based on your location!

Southern States

Those living in sunny, warm states (Florida, Texas, Arizona, California- just to name a few) should look for a cover that provides excellent protection from the sun, UV ray, and the heat.  The best sun protection cover we have to offer in the DuPont Tyvek Sunproof Car Cover.  It helps block 99.8% of the sun’s harsh and harmful rays.

Northern States

Living up north, you are prone to cold, snowy weather, so finding a cover that provides protection even in the most extreme conditions is extremely important.  Look for a cover that features thick, strong, all types of weather protection.  Our Max Car Cover is perfect for this- it features include extreme water resistance, UV treatment, and three thick layers of Endura Plus fabric.

Mid-Atlantic and Mid-Western States

Living in these states requires you to deal with a mix of elements- both the cold snow and the hot sun.  Find a cover that protects from ALL TYPES of elements- snow, sun, rain, and dust.  My favorite pick is the Titan Quatro 4L, featuring the highest rated protection in all categories, allowing your vehicle to be protected no matter the conditions!

Rainy States

When you live somewhere that receives a great deal of rain throughout the course of the year, it is extremely important to find a 100 perfect waterproof, yet breathable car cover.  Check out our Titan Quatro 4L Cover if you’re looking for both of those features.

So when you start shopping around for a vehicle cover, be sure to take the climate you live in account!
