In my search for alternatives to Marathon Seat Covers I found this company:

h t t p://www.proseatcovers.com/ballistic.html

Wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Price is about the same, but this company does two-tone covers where marathon does not.

Pics if you have them! TIA

 

Look real good. Same fabric. I have the marathons on two different vehicles and love them. Just looking at the two, the only reason i would stay with marathon is cause they are made in the USA. Looks like proseatcovers are in Canada (no offense to them)

 

They look pretty nice. Codura is some pretty tuff stuff. Its difficult to puncture, and very wear/abrasion resistant. Codura is what a lot of good motorcycle textile gear is made from. If you sealed the seams on the backside and washed them with some Nikwax treatment, they would be damn near waterproof.

My only concern would be the actual fitment. Cordura doesn't stretch, so I don't think you would ever get that tight factory fit look that neoprene covers give you. On the other hand, the Cordura should breath a hell of a lot better than neoprene (helps with summertime swampass). Tradeoffs in both directions I guess.

Oh yeah.....and dog hair shouldn't stick to them

 

These are my marathons I have on my SD and also a set on my Tacoma. Fitment is great and I've never had to readjust them since I put them on 5 years ago. Just to give you an idea of how the codura looks. and yes, dog hair does not get stuck in it and they are water proof.
