Default Wet okole seats

Hey guys! Was looking at some new seat covers, and seen you can totally customize the wet okole ones. And even add in seat heaters and lumber support. Does anyone have any experience with these covers? If so, any experience with the options such as heat and lumbar support. Any advice would be appreciate, and pics!

Two year old Wet Okole. Second time for me. My next covers will not be neoprene.

Stay away from the Wet Okole seat covers, the neoprene doesn't breathe. You'll swear your nuts off in the summer and the fabric doesn't hold up well.

Trek Armor sear covers are customizable, just expect a long wait for them. It took nearly four months for mine. They are tough though, great fit too.

If you get neoprene, be prepared to discover "swamp ass", especially in the warmer summer months.

I recommend Trek Armor. I love mine.

X3!! Pretty good quality but the swamp ass effect was brutal. I'll sell you my back and red ones for 50 bucks. I'll throw in the ass sweat removal for free

I had Wet Okole seat covers in my Tacoma. they sucked. Wore poorly, the "swamp ass" comment--very true, especially since Okole is the Hawaiian word for ass. I run cotton canvas covers and find them much "cooler".

I have a set of Wet Okole covers in my Tacoma, looked great for a couple months, wore out and tore fast. Very hot, wouldn't buy or recommend them

Wet Okole's are not worth what they charge in my opinion. Next time I will go a different route. These faded fast and aren't wearing very well...

Thanks for the feedback, def not spending almost $700 on them if I'm getting this many negative results!

I am very happy with my wet okoles. I got the heat option. No wearing out. Then again I have a 2010 with under 19k miles!
