Default Trek armor vs wet okole seat covers

Of the made in USA seat covers, I have narrowed it down to these 2. I have a 2012 black jku, and want to keep the black on black theme. Now does anyone happen to have experience comparing these two? From their web pages, both are made in the US. Different material. Both have strong followings.

What I want them for us protection or my seats first, looks a close second. My girl and I have 3 dogs (2 mini schnauzers (18,28 lbs), an a yorkie. We are going to move (drive) to Texas from Ohio in a month. The dogs will ride in the back seat an jump up front intermittently I'm sure. I need it to hold up to that as well as when the hard top is off (hopefully as soon as we move and I set up a hard top storage lift). Money is not an issue, I don't mind maintenance (spray protection, cleaning, etc).
Any real world experience? Let me know. Thanks.

I have had the Wet Okles before and I really loved them. They held up well resisted fading well if properly cared for. However hair would cling to them. I'm not sure they would be best for your situation.

BTW have you looked at the Marathon seat covers. they are made in America too.

I have ordered a set of Trek Armor.
One thing you don't want is HOT seats in Texas, you may regret going with black seat covers.
(Stay away from neoprene.)

My 2 cents...

Thanks for the input. I'm stayin away from neoprene for sure now. I'm afraid my black on black Jeep is gonna be ridiculously hot no matter what color covers I get.

I ordered the trek armor because of the feedback here. Called north ridge 4x4, and it cost less than direct buy from the trek armor webpage at least for the set I wanted, plus it was free shipping.
