I've heard that about those...they hold up structurally and do well fade wise if uv protectant is used. Do you get the typical neoprene swamp ass in summer?

Trek Armor/Bartact...

I have taken my rig mudding with no doors/top and literally taken a spray washer to the seats and floorboards (floorboards are linex'd). Seats under the covers stayed dry. My set (black/graphite) haven't faded in two years of Florida sun. I keep a ton of crap in MOLLE pouches on the stitching and none has worn/torn.

I'd say save the money and buy something that's going to last. Buy it right once.

I've got a set of CoverKings, in the codura fabric. The only problems I've had, are tearinig of the fabric where the headrest of the back seat folds down in a fourdoor, and cotacts the back of the front seat. My fault for over loading them though. Four years of wear, and no fading. The fabric has gotten "fuzzy" where my big ass slides over it. I will definitely be purchasing another set.

Are those a tight fit like the Bartact?

You get what you pay for. Bartect are hands down the best. Buy them or wish you did a year down the road.

The seat covers will smell like BUDIUSSY after 3000 miles in 2 weeks, bit that's all day driving and wheeling. They don't breath perfect, but it isn't terrible either.

I just pulled the trigger on the Bartact covers. Had been looking at them for a couple of years. One of the features I had been waiting on is the seat airbag compliance and they now come like that. Having totaled one JK, I did not want a seat cover to impede a safety feature I wanted. The covers will get in tomorrow (I hope), so I can post about them later.

I've had my OD Green Smittybilt front seat covers for 3 years. My top is off as much as possible during any warm weather. I have a spiderweb shade. I barely notice any fading. I get nonstop compliments about them and they hold all my gear. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.
