Default What are some good sub $200 seat covers?

I'm looking for a set of front and rear seat covers for less than $200. Something that i can not worry about food, water and mud getting on. And something that doesn't tear easily from the metal buttons on my jeans.


I like the Coveking Ballistic covers but the fit doesnt look all that great and comfort might be an issue.

Some have recommended the Coverking neoprene but I'm skeptical that they will hold up to abuse.

Trek Armor is not an option as they cost 3x what I want to pay.

Any other good options out there?

Appreciate it.

I actually like the Smittybuilt GEAR seat covers but at $400 for front and rear its 200 over my budget.

Their neoprenes aren't' much cheaper.

I did the TrekArmor but did the fronts first then two months latter the rear $$$ but well worth the investment. I know this is not want you wanted to hear but Trek Armor quality is well worth the investment IMO.

Default i thought the smittybuilt Gear seat covers had poor reviews

i like the looks as well but im not spending 200 for junk , if thats what they are ????

I was heading this way untill a lot of people said they were complete garbage fading and they come apart at seams in no time and poor quality over all .

They look nice . I was almost tempted to not listen to the opinion but its hard to toss $200 out the door as well on somthing that isnt at least good quality.

I have coverking neoprene. They are comfy. I don't have the roof off much but they have held up this last year pretty well and even though the fit was tight at first they snugged up in the right spots and let out in the others and you can hardly tell that they parent stock.. Oh and they shed dog hair real well..

I have the coverking ballistic covers. The fit certainly isn't as clean/snug as the TrekArmors, but for the price I like em. I'll snap a picture tomorrow to show the fit

I'm also looking for a set of good seat covers, but one stipulation is I need storage incorporated in the seat cover. What I have now are the cheap Cabelas trail gear seat covers, which in all rights have lasted a couple years. I'd say I got my moneys worth out of them. Probably my favorite feature about the seat covers is the storage they provide via pockets behind each seat. I have all kinds of crap in the them, and having a 2 door it's become necessity.

So along this same topic's lines, I'm looking for a quality seat cover for my 2014 JK that has storage built in. I've noticed the GEAR seat covers, but don't know anything about them...
