Default My New SeatGlovers Neoprene Seat Covers!

So with the summer months rapidly approaching, I'm preparing for Line-X and warm weather and have been shopping seat covers for a while. I've looked at every different material but had decided I wanted neoprene. I priced out some Wet Okole covers, but when I got them optioned as I wanted to fit my Jeep, they were $750! I explored other options and came across SeatGlovers, a company that makes neoprene seat covers specifically for our JK's at a MUCH lower price than Wet Okole. Since my JK has four stock bucket seats, I emailed the company and dealt with Marc, who helped me every step of the way with all my questions and ordering. My order, which consisted of four red and black seat covers, two of which had side airbag functionality, was shipped and in my hands in a week's time.

Installation was a breeze. The headrests, seat bottoms, and seat backs all slip on with ease and secure nicely with Velcro or straps. I had the entire thing done in less than an hour.

Here are a bunch of pics that I took along the way...



All four headrests secured and installed for the picture. Easy slip on and Velcro, designed around the posts.



From the trunk. The line you see on the headrest in the back was simply from shipping and has already smoothed itself out.



From the front. Already like the look.







Some pictures of the front and back seats with bottoms installed, with and without headrests.



This picture shows how the seat bottoms attach. With two adjustable slide buckles and elastic hooks the seat bottom stays secure on the seat. I thought there would have been places to hook the clips on the cover, but there's plenty of spots underneath the seat.













Here are some final pictures of the seats fully covered and officially protected from the elements.

I'm really happy with the covers. I think they look awesome, the price is great, the service was excellent, and I have a lot of faith in the product. I'm going to continue this thread with updates as to wear, fading, etc.

If you guys are checking out covers for the summer, give these a good look. The color options are pretty nice and they said they were looking to add more.

I hope I helped some of you; I know I agonized over this just like every other part.

Comments and questions welcome, enjoy the nice weather!

I hope/think that these will be of higher quality than the Smittybilt. If I have any problems, the guy Marc has been very helpful and his company has a lifetime warranty and guarantees no fading and satisfaction.

i bought some el cheapo neoprene a couple years ago and they blew out, but as I said they were cheapies. I just got some marathon seat covers with 1000 cordura, they are AWESOME. no color options though, I like the red and black.

You can probably call and get some samples mailed to you and check the match yourself.

I wish their website had more photos of the different colors. I'd like to see what these all black covers look like in an unlimited.

I must say, any of "us guys" with Unlimiteds are lucky to sit in the front seat. The back seats are very uncomfortable, hence my mods.

I like the flash of red in an otherwise all black jeep.
