Agreed Trek Armor worth the cash

Wet Okole, they look as as good as the day i got them, about a year ago, and I have a big dog that always gets in my jeep wet after swimming in the ocean. Very good stuff and easy to clean.

Thanks in advance.
Hey Brikino, I know I said coverking originally (even though I've never seen them) but I did a lot of research and have decided to get a set of Marathons for myself. I'll let you know how they fit once they come.

If you really want covers, shell out for Trek Armor, marathons, or wet okle.
I 2nd, throwing a towel over them. I would get the Jeep ones that slip over the head rest. Easy to remove and wash Cheap to replace when need too.

+2 on the Wet Okole seat covers. I have had mine for 5 years now with trips to the beach (Houston, TX) and lots of trips in the Colorado mountains. They are a little faded, but still in great condition. If I had applied the UV protective spray they probably would have faded .

Hey all, I ordered Marathon seat covers. They should show up within the next 5 weeks. Apparently they customize every set, and they were able to accommodate my side impact air bags in my Sahara. Will post pics when they come!

Default coverkings

I bought the coverking neoprene, love the padding and seem to hold up well so far. I also have black leather and was not looking to burn the skin off my legs when the top is off. I just could not justify the huge price difference to step up to the wet oaklies. Maybe if I lived in California with great weather all year I would have sprung for them. But here in NY I figure there are maybe 3-4 months of possible top off weather.
