Seat covers....options?

We've had the neoprene ones you linked in Jen's TJ for a few years now. Despite being shittybilt they fit nicely and have held up great. The driver side is just now to the point that it is in need of replacement due to the neoprene separating on the outer bolster. They have the added benefit of not looking like a cover too...some of the vest style, etc can just look like a cheesy cover. I wouldn't hesitate to get them again.

I'm mulling over some seat cover options and would appreciate your opinions on these two I found on Quadratec. I currently use the vest style covers on my front seats (I think they are Rugged Ridge). I have no experience at all with neoprene, but I understand they can be hot in the summer. I like the 3-piece set (the rear seat cover is tossed in "for free"), but I think I'd be happier with the cordura fabric. Price does matter.

I'm just hoping for some advice on seat covers -- not on seats. If there are other solid cost-effective options, and if there are better vendors, please share!

Neoprene covers, sold as 3-piece set for $169.99, available in tan:

Vest, sold in pairs for $69.99, but apparently only in black:

Wait for the Q-tech tent sale, you can get a full set of Wet Oakleys for $100. FYI, Wet Oakleys are very good.

For anyone else reading this, deadfeat is trying to spell Wet Okole. Let's all say it aloud together...O...k...o...l...e. Okole.

I really liked these before I got new seats

Naw, I gave up uniforms years ago.

Do they sell the wet Okole every year???????
But, that is how I got mine, one year.

They only sell the returned ones... Wet Okole covers are only made to order (6 week lead time) so the only ones you buy from Quadratec are returns. Not for defects, but for change of heart (aka, the wife didn't like the color).

Personally, I'd love to get the GEAR seat covers, but since I have leather seats and a hard top, they wouldn't get much use. http://www.quadratec.com/products/14070_900X_PG.htm

For the neoprene versions, the Coverking are a good buy for the cost. Quadratec sells a boat load of them, way more than the Smittybilts, not really sure of the quality differences. All of the neoprene covers will be grippy, so you can't slide across the seat like you used to. That can be good or bad, personally I prefer a smoother seat.

Ha. ..looking at this thread and reading the posts made me order covers. I only got the towel covers though.

We have one that we won at one of the Christmas events and were just talking about getting another one to replace my cheapo Zombie Vehicle ones.

Also got one of the Jerry Can tool boxes because they looked cool. Plus I'm saving on shipping so it's like getting a discount!

I tried wet Okole's. Started to wear prematurely after a year. I had seats covered with marine grade vinyl. Expensive, but after 2-1/2 years they look new.

I've had my Okoles for almost a year, and they have held up like new. Mine are Blackand Tan, and the tan cleans up nicely, I would definitely buy these gain if needed., One thing to remember , all neoprene can dry out, and will last longer if washed occasionally with a wetsuit cleaner/conditioner.

Not to hijack the thread but if anyone ever sees seat covers that are either 2 piece and just cover the ass end of the seat or have holes for shoulder harnesses please let me know.

I have only ever gotten the Smittybilt neoprene covers and love them. I still have the original set in the blue beast and they are 8 or 9 yrs old now, yea its time to replace them (starting to look their age). I still have the set from our 2 dr jk sitting here.

I used the cleaner I ordered from Wet Okole and it did not make a difference. I called them and got nowhere. Overrated, expensive seat covers.

Agreed, unless you snag a full set (front and rear) for $100

Yeah, I'm not sure... maybe because of the stigma most people have with Smittybilt stuff? That, I could understand... I've had bad luck with their stuff, myself.

When does quadratec usually have their tent sale?
