does anyone know if there are camo styled seat covers? Theres a jeep down here at WVU w/ them i cant see what brand they are but they seem very loose fitting so i think they were meant for a truck or something with larger seats.
thanks
thanks

I have the smittybuilt's front and rear on my unlimited. A friend has the same on his. Fair product for the price. I am disappointed with the construction on them however. Each of the sets had at least one of the straps that attach under the front seats rip completely off while installing. Mine was drivers seat his was passengers seat. Other than that fronts are ok. Still secure even wiyh the broken strap. Bottom portion of back seat fits well and again each set had a strap rip off while installing. We were using very little force, just could have used better stitching. The backrest portion is terrible. Holes for seat release don't line up right. Mine is an 09 with pull loops. His is an 07 with the release lever. Seat covers don't quite cover the sides of the rear seats well. Part of the seat is still exposed. After a few weeks i removed the backrest (not headrest) portion of rear seat because i couldn never find the release loop. I am not upset on my choice but after seeing wet okole's and taking a close look at their construction i would probably get them if i had to do it over again.
Previous posters weren't kidding when they said neoprene does make you sweat if it is hot out. But they wipe right off and water doesn't soak through.

Thanks for the "poll" and all the input. I just ordered Iggee's. They look good to me and free shipping. We'll see. I plan on a lot of doors/top off time this spring and summer 
and I want to keep my seats as protected as I can and still not worry about them too much.
There's no way I can take my dog with me anywhere right now without my stock seats getting crazy dog fur all through them. Could Chrylser/Jeep have found a more animal un-friendly fabric to put on their seats..??
Wow.
Wish me luck!
Oh, yeah, I ordered black and Red two-tone for my blk Jeep...

Post pics of the black/red...I'm considering that too as my lift is red. Thinking it's a good accent..

Iggees are what I replaced my CoverKing/Seat Glover Neoprene seats with.
For me it is because the neoprene would still hold water on the seat cover itself, even though the seats were protected. The Iggees I can towel off an they're fine.
Next set will likely be ballistic nylon because it will match accessory bags better, as well as the soft top.

we've tried Wet Okole's in the past but for us the fine desert particle got sucked into the fabric (even though it's like wetsuit material) and they were hard as heck to get the dust out of them. We are somewhat close to the coast so we have the fog belt to deal with so having the ability to towel them off made the iggees the covers we went with...

Faded Seat Covers
These are my coverking front and rear they were JET BLACK when I purchased! 1.5 summers later this is what your left with. I live in MA any of you that live up this way know the last few summers have not been great. My top was never down multiple days days in a row... I swear I noticed fading one month in. Anyone else have this issue? Last straw was when a friend of mine asked me if the were a grey to light purple fade LOL they came out right after that

Initially bought the RR seat covers, but during install three of the straps ripped out of the seam and one seam split wide open. I sent these back to quadratec and they exchanged them for the Coverkings. I have had the CK on for more than a year now and have minimal fading. Not anythig drastic, and quite frankly, I expect fading with the top always off living in san diego. I would rather change $100 seat covers every few years than new seats.
The CK's have worked great and held up to all kinds of abuse, either from being on the trail, the kids in the back seat, or my mud covered a** from a post mountain bike ride.
