I have the cordura and they are great. The covers have been resisting my 4-year old for quite a while.
Only complaint is that it needs two persons to install the back seat cover. It fits really tight and there's no way to close the zipper while pulling that thing together at the same time, unless you are an octopus.

Big plus the Marathons are custom made when you order them, not by 3 blind old ladies in China like the crooked seamed Coverkings. Seatglovers I had looked like crap too.

Looks good. I bet it's nice to break up the solid black interior too. When I get into my Jeep out of the bright sun I can't see a thing in there. I'll go this route soon.

when installing my rear passenger side seatback marathons it was tight to get the cutout for the seatbelt on the top of the seat under the plastic seat belt trim piece. so i popped the plastic trim piece up in the back, didn't help much but now i'm having trouble getting the plastic trim piece to snap back in. the clips on the rear side are pretty long, i'm wondering if the clips on the front side are shorter and i need to pop them up to get the back ones in. i talked to marathon and they didn't have any suggestions, they don't recommend popping the plastic trim piece up.
if anyone has a tip on getting the seatbelt plastic trim piece back in it would be appreciated.

Can't help on the trim piece, but did you lose your seatback pockets when you installed these? Or did you buy the pocket option? If so, how are they compared to the factory pockets?

i bought the seatback pocket option on the front seats. they are actually really good and comparable to factory. similar size and they have a reinfocement strip sewn into them at the top opening so it feels a little like a "spring-loaded" opening. they're nice.
