Welcome to the forum Rick! I think I got the same cover you originally purchased. It is supposed to have a micro fibre base material but feels more like a nylon jacket. I called and asked about it and they said it's there so I continued to use it as I really like that the material is waterproof and not just a coating that will wear off. I haven't noticed any damage to the paint yet, however, I would be extremely cautious about using this on a darker color. I bought a second cover for my second car. I believe it is a Covercraft with the Noah material. I really, really like this cover. It is thicker and much softer on the inside than the other one. However, as you would like to feel the inside of it before purchase, I think that is a good idea. If you were closer, I'd let you look at the Covercraft cover.
