Default Marathon seat covers installed today....

Finally got one thing done on my list of Jeep mods. Here are my new Marathon seat covers, they are the "smoke" color seatcovers (very close to the factory seat color) and I went with a contrasting (and doesn't show dirt) black headrest/console covers.

I was very impressed with the quality of the covers and how well they fit. I had some Wet Okole neoprene covers, but after about 2.5 years they were stained and a little worn. All the holes for the seat levers/tabs and latch child anchors lined up perfectly. The material is thick and feels pretty tough. Here is a quick pic I snapped...

these are exactly what i was thinking of ordering! How close to the original color fabric is the "smoke" color?
are these waterproof enough that if i got caught in the rain without the top and doors on the factory seats would not get wrecked?
How quickly can they be removed to be washed?

they look awesome on your Jeep BTW!

The "smoke" color is slightly darker than the factory seats. It is almost the same color as the height adjustment lever. If you want a lighter color the "steel" color is a lighter grey almost a silver. I needed a darker color for the kids and the dog, that's the color the rep at Marathon worked the best.

The covers are supposed to be resistant to water, but in a downpour they may soak through. I haven't tested that yet. They were really easy to install, just slip them over the seats and tuck the velcro straps under the backs. They would be easy to remove if needed, but I don't think many stains will stick to the nylon.

The only downside is that they take about 4-6 weeks for a set to be made. They are worth the wait though. They can customize them any way you want.

They look good! These have been on my list for a while now. I've still got the two swatches they sent me in the Jeep debating on color.

I can only see the really cool Detonator Yellow Jeep! But I'm biased!
