Good seat covers?
 

I don't have a Jeep yet.... but thinking of buying one.

I know that the wet okele seat covers are for Jeeps....
but they also make them for cars so i bought some for
my Mazda Protege.

Ive noticed that in only abt 2 years time.... they are
starting to wear.... break down .... from the sun I
suppose.

Are there any other seat covers better or worth
checking?

What abt just some covers made form a nylon such as
Cordura nylon.... or maybe a smooth faced nylon for
easier sliding in/out?

The wet okele are made of wet suit material and as such
have some "padding" to them. I really do NOT need
padding in a seat cover.... only durability and easy
off/on.

Advice or opinions?

No, I bought a pair of the neoprene and they are harder to keep clean. I
wish I would have gotten the Bestop's. You can wipe them off with a wet
rag and are virtually waterproof. Next time for sure! :)

So you got the wet okele brand as well.... like mine?

And are a bit disappointed with them?

4wd.com has Outland neoprene seat covers on sale. Buy the front seat pair
and get the rear seat for free. But they've got the padding.

That's the problem tho..... I do NOT think neoprene is
the best material for seat covers.

Neoprene doesn't hold up well to sunlight exposure.

I think a coated nylon would be a better material.....
with no padding.

OK...wel let us know what you think after using them
awhile.

Im just saying that Im disappointed with the wet okole
seat covers. I took them off to was them last week and
noticed they had degraded pretty quickly due to
sunlight exposure...... and this was in a Mazda Protege
that has a roof..... not a Jeep with no top on it.
