Merely noting that customer's description doesn't match what I'd consider to be fitting "like a glove", it's not an attack.

It’s all good. I genuinely wanted to see a tight fitting one.

I don't have any pictures, but thinking back I think the one ones I've ever seen that seem to fit snugly around a car are those that seem to be made for a specific make model. On my drive to work every day I pass a house with a C3 Corvette parked out front. The cover on that car seems pretty snug. Tight enough you can clearly tell what the car is. No idea what brand it is.

Re: Outdoor car covers...thoughts
It’s funny you say that because a Corvette was exactly the kind of car I was thinking of.

I have a nice 3 layer cover but it seemed too much of a pain to use outside. The wind always blew it around.

I think they may be one of the few that have a customer base looking for custom covers.
After I posted my comment about the C3 I remembered being somewhere and someone had a C5 or C6 with a custom cover. It had a giant Vette logo on the front of it and it was cut perfectly to the shape of the car, to include special areas the mirrors slotted into like fingers on a glove. I don't think I've ever seen another cover customized to that level. No idea the brand as it's been way to long ago and I didn't take the time to look at it in any real detail.

? I still have a cover that someone gave me, and I think I may have bought 3 other covers in my lifetime for cars I no longer have, but they all were "custom" covers with mirror pockets and "cut to the shape of the car". I'm pretty sure this is one of the places I bought from: https://www.calcarcover.com/custom-fit-car-truck-covers

Re: Outdoor car covers...thoughts
Same here, my covers are custom made. They are not immune from high winds though and they can and have shifted around, creating marring
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.
