I have the Mopar front & rear seat covers. I like them alot even with the sweat factor. Though I do have the vinyl seats which in my opinion is another cause of sweat factor.

The reason I went with the neoprene is that my old Frontier had some in it and I fell in love with the ability to pull the covers, put them in the washer on gentle, air dry and wallah perfectly clean seats.

Sure you may sweat a little in the jeep, just take the doors and top off and that problem should go away very quickly.

I have seat glovers on my rig and same problems everyone else has already stated.

I wouldn't recommend the seat glovers though...faded rediculously quick, and the seams have not held up well at all. I've got three major seam seperations and others on the verge. I will be going to something else when they finally get too bad...maybe cordura.

Default coverking

I have ones from Coverking that I bought if off of Ebay. I cannot remeber how much it was exactly, but it was between $150 and $200. I live in Idaho, where we get 100 degrees dry heat in the summer. It gets sweaty on my back, but I think this will happen with any seats.

I liked mine until they started getting ripped about a year ago. I have been patching it with good all duck tape. It's been only two years and I have to get new seatcovers pretty soon. I am actually thinking about going with pleather seat cover that I found on E-bay. It's only like 50 bucks. I can't really expect much quality from $50 bucks, but as long as they keep the stock seats clean, I am okay with it.

Love the neoprene seat covers.
Installation is another - it's like putting on a size 6 when you are a 12

I got some from rugged ridge for my back seats more than $100. They fade and the stitching is already coming out. I just like the fact that they are split so I can put the seats down.

My $16 walmart mico suede front covers have held up pretty well.

Default rugged ridge neoprene seat vests

I just bought some rugged ridge neoprene seat vests. I have an X with vynil..and I'm currently in Michigan. Vinyl + cold = Summer sun + vinyl = I installed (yeah a size 12 going into a 6) mine and LOVE them so far. They look pretty dang coo' too. I'll be adding a write up. Why? No instructions and to figure out how to get them to REALLY contour to the seat AND have the seat be able to slide up and back without slicing through the straps there are a few tricks (and one pain in the a$$ point.

Sounds like you've made up your mind, but I'll comment anyway.

I have Wet Okoles. (black with black piping) Excellent product, but major swamp ass in the summer. I originally bought them to protect me from my self when I'd leave the top down in the summer. Now that I have dual tops it does not happen. (it was a different story with my X when I only had a hard top) Now, I have the seat covers on in the winter only.

If I had it to do over again, I would have spent the $600 on upgrading my lift.

I have coverkings and I like them alot. Yea they make my back and ass a little sweaty down here in southern louisiana in the warmer months, but they keep the stock seats clean and protected, and they are easy to clean. They have a great fit, have had people who thought they were the actual seats. I dont expect them to last forever, so when they go, i will replace with probably the same. havent had any noticable fading or unstitching anywhere, but they have only been on about 6 months.
