Re: Seat covers
I got the Smitttybuilt seat vests and am happy with them. They are not
waterproof, (actually kind of spongy - can you say soggy bottom when it
rains) but I got them to cover a rip in the original seat cover. They also
have alot of handy storage pockets on them.

Re: Seat covers
My best advice is to avoid any neopreme seat cover like Wet Okole makes.
While neopreme seat covers look cool and fit great when they are new,
neopreme as a seat cover material has a few problems... first, neopreme
is not waterproof (despite some advertising claims), it is only water
resistant. That means it soaks up water if it sits any length of time.
I've sat on more than a couple wet neopreme seat covers that couldn't
be simply dried off with a towel, I had to sit on a towel to avoid
getting soaked. Then neopreme also soaks up perspiration which means it
can start to smell like a locker room after a while. Then the colors of
the nylon that covers the neopreme will, if colored anything besides
black, fade dramatically and unevenly if it sees much sun. Finally,
some neopreme seat covers like Wet Okole are as expensive to buy as are
some complete seats are. Their pricing is just plain crazy-high.
I've had great luck with some vinyl seat covers, most notably Bestop's.
They fit like a glove, good enough that they don't look like a seat
cover. They're also textured so they don't feel slick like most vinyls
do. Not to mention they cost one-third the cost of Wet Okole's do.
Did I metion I'm no fan of Wet Okole seat covers? ;)
