I need to buy another cover for my Vantage after my old 2nd hand fleece lined one disintegrated.

What do people recommend please, an Aston Martin branded one or a generic one?

Car is keep undercover but not garaged so can get a little wet occasionally.

Granted mines garaged, but I’ve been very impressed with classic additions offerings

My Vantage is permanently outside and not under cover, so I've taken the recommendation of many others and lashed out on a Stormshield + from Specialised Covers.

Not cheap, but the quality is high and hopefully the durabilty is just as good

AM don't make covers, they buy them in from somebody who does, so you may as well save a few £. Some makers will add a logo for you - eg Classic Additions charge £30. In fact I think they might be the people who make the AM ones.

Unfortunately outdoor covers don't come in much colour choice, the usual being light grey.

I have a soft cover but never seem to use it. If it's clean, then I worry that it is still too damp for a cover, if it's not clean then putting a cover on top can just scratch it more. I use it every few weeks in the winter anyway so dust not really a problem. OP do you use soft cover and then waterproof shell on top?

I used to use the official AML soft cover when I wasn't going to use the car for a few days and it was clean. Then I had Paddy fix the swirls.

+1 for stormshield + specialisedcovers, mine is outside year round too and the cover is well worth the money
