Default Wet Okole Covers + Mopar Seat Heaters together?

Does anybody know if there are any negative consequences to using the seat heaters with a pair of wet okole seat covers installed simultaneously? I couldn't find an answer on their website, so I wrote them an email. While I wait for a response....

Anybody here have any experience with using both neoprene seat covers and seat heaters simultaneously?

Thanks,
Glen

i was just looking for an answer to this also. seems like it would be easier to install under the seat cover than under the seat.

I figure my body traps more heat than the seat covers would, but I'm curious if the seat covers might react with the seat material or something. Can't be much hotter though than leaving the Jeep parked outside with the top down in the summer. Don't really know.

If / when I hear a response from Wet Okole, I'll post it here.

Here's the response from Wet Okole:

Hello Glen, heated seats are not a problem they just take a while longer to warm up with our seat covers installed.
Thank you
Maybe I should move to Arizona. My heater keeps kicking on in the house and it's almost the middle of June.
