Default Marathon Cordura Seat Covers vs. Coverking Ballistic Nylon

Does anyone here have any first hand comments or experiences with either brand/material of the mentioned seat covers.

I hate neoprene and want the maximum water proofing/durability/best fit.

I have Marathon in my unlimited. Had them over a year now, they are black and the sun hasn't even faded them. No rips, wear nothing. Excellent seat covers.

Another vote for Marathon. Going on 4 years now and they still look new. Well, they would if I washed them...

to answer my own thread i have to say that my research paid off as well as some sound advice from fellow Jeepers( thanks for the reccomendation karls10jk)...these things are amazing, drove around topless and doorless almost all summer long, 100%waterproof, power-washable and kid proof....didn't notice any difference from the factory as far as sweating goes. They obviously wont't be as plush feeling as some of the low end ones but the very minimal "stiffer" feeling is ALL worth it...besides they do get a little more pliable when broken in but do not stretch and hold their shape amazing.

i convinced my friend to get a set for his TJ and he fell in love with them as well.

thanks for the update and photos. I'll need to get these before topless season (I don't think my silly factory leather will like the rain).
