Looks like the seller is new but he has good reviews. That's about what I paid off allthingsjeeps a year ago and just checked and see they are selling the same ones for $300 now.

I don't have pet wolverines so I didn't need to get kevlar reinforced neoprene covers and went for cheepies and are happy with the ones I got.

Nevermind I found the website, although they don't have the headrest covers included and only have for 2008 models, although they may fit??

FWIW I have wet okole's for a little over a year and a half now and I wouldnt buy neoprene's again. They are only water resistant, not water proof; they are really hot in the summer; , they are a pain to keep clean, they just seem to suck dirt and dust in; and to top it off they are fading... and yes Im constantly sprying them with the protectant. When these are finally shot, Im getting Iggee's or Katzkins

I had cheapy neoprenes, they were hot as hell...nothing like a good butt sweat on the way to work.
I got the marathon cordura ones, fit is great, and they are not near as hot as the neoprenes. plust they are water proof, when it rains, just wipe them off with a towel and you are good to go

I am almost ready to pull the trigger on some Marathons. I have had Wet Okoles for a while now in the front, but I don't want to buy rear neoprenes. The quality is great, but the mud, food, and dust get absorbed into the fabric. I have to buy a rear set of seatcovers soon and I have been researching the Marathons because they seem pretty durable...

Without picks of Littlejeepgirl standing next to her jeep so we can decide what kind of seat covers that would look best with her

Thats what really annoys me about ours. I'm really getting sick of scrubbing them

HAHAHA too funny. I promise some bad ass pics of me with my jeep within the next week, I just want the lift and stuff finished first. I just ordered the all black from 4wD, the smittybilt neoprene ones. Middle of the market and decent reviews. I dont have any dogs that will be in my car and I think these will work for the time being! BTW the Jeep is hitting the shop tomorrow. When I get home from work tomorrow night I'll have a full suspension lift, new tires, and rockstars. Pics to come ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!

Iggee looks sweet but dont like the fact they are leather.. i live in florida and neoprene will get pretty hot but we have mostly mud and water down here so i think neoprene is a must

I have had the neoprene ones for a year too, and in NC. All we have is red mud, and when you scrub it off the covers, it pushes it through to stain your OEM covers. Found that out the hard way. Oooh, also, Cook Out sweet tea gets through and leaves stains when a Jack Russel Terrier decides to rip a hole in the side of the cup, drink half of the tea, drain the rest on the seat, and shake each piece of ice out onto the seat. I'm going to get the Iggee covers soon. And I agree with the Hot comments. I'm not a real sweaty person, actually I barely sweat in 90-100 degree weather, and with the top off or on, when I get out of my Jeep with the neoprene seats, I look like someone poured water down the whole back of my shirt and pants. They are awesome in the winter though.
