I bought the smittys seat covers front and rear and I HATE them. I swear they are the cheapest made covers out there. I had them on my jeep for less then a month and noticed several of the seams pulling apart and within three months the seats were faded in twelve different shades of grey / purple, and they were supposed to be black. These went in the trash before the end of the first summer :( I did feel like they shed water very well, but then doesn't all the neoprene covers ? I was just extremely dissapointed in the lack of craftsmanship and quality, especially from a company that makes so many jeep accessories. Really makes me leary about buying any other smittybilt products.

I have the Coverking Cordura type. Opted for this type because easy maintenance and durability. For example, my 3 year old son, who literally walks over the seat to reach his seat and his shoes usually have mud, sand or other stuff. I also did not like the fact that neoprene tends to get soggy in humid weather (it rains a lot in Seattle).
Furthermore, I also considered that for an offroad environment (mud, etc) this would be the cover with most survavibilty and easiest maintenance.

I ordered a full set from a place called Must Motoring. They actually ship in a coverking box, from coverking, and the warranty card is from coverking, but it was roughly $225 ish for the front and back set (2door). They have the flap to accommodate front side airbags. They have been great, but the rear is starting to fade from leaving the top down and parked outside work a lot. I think its covered under warranty.
Inexpensive and great quality.

Qtec will offer you a little deal on them if you call them directly.
Wet Okole is probably the best option if you want the custom matching color options, but for me black/black was the perfect look for the future bedliner.
