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?

Re: Good seat covers?
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! :)

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.
