Iggees come with seatback pockets. They are durable, but puncture resistant they are not. I've got a cut in the back of my rear seat from a piece of fiberboard. It isn't big, and didn't rip, but cut a small hole right in it.

I ordered Marathons on Friday, If I like them I will get the rear seat ones too
I went with the digital camo as the silvers were too light or too dark, and I figure the pattern would hide stains between washes, however I wrote on the sample with pen, and it wiped right off.. not sure they will stain

I've been looking at those digital camo covers for a while, can you post a few pics when you get them? really excited to see how they look...

I ordered my Marathons on 1/20 and they still have not shipped yet. I called them on Feb 10th and the said that they would expect them to ship out by the 16th. We had a big argument about the difference between working days and calendar days, and at one point he made a comment that I am just one of many customers. Wrong thing to say to me, I said "Well since you have so many customers maybe I'll just cancel my order." Long story short he is following up personally with my order to let me know when it ships out.

Moral of the story, don't expect to get your Marathons anytime soon.

This knife was just sharpened by a professional knife maker who just made a custom sheath for me so it is sharp as hell trust me.

Does anyone know if the marathons are side airbag compliant?

I see the Iggees are according to their website. Couldnt find any mention on the marathon site.

Go with the Marathons, I have over 150 doorless days with mine. they hold up great! it took about 3 or 4 weeks go get them over the summer, but it is worth it!

looking at those knives we know who would win in a fight between a seat cover and you no, I don't have anything constructive to say about it.

I used to be a big gun guy but knifes are just so much more fun.

Update - Just got my seat covers on Wenesday, I'll post pics this weekend when I put them on.
