Try this web site. Wet Okole set covers are the best on the market.

Ditto on the W.O.'s.....It was tough for me to spend that much on seat covers, but they are worth every penny. They look great and have handled everything me and my daughter have thrown at them...Everything from muddy trails to spilled sodas.
In terms of cleaning them, I just mix a little bit of oxy-clean and warm water together and use a sponge to scrub the seat covers. I don't even mess around with taking them off the seats. It seams to work pretty well....I have also had them professionally cleaned and they always come back spotless.

With all the options they offer, their website can be kind of confusing...Be sure to either give them a call or ask someone on here.

PS: I don't have any experience with the Seat Glovers covers so can't offer a true assessment as to how these two compare. I know the Wet Okole covers are a little more expensive. I can just tell you that they are worth every penny in my view and I couldn't be anymore happy with them.

They do look good. I bought Mopar's neoprene version and they look good and are water proof too. However I like Wet O's piping option like you have in the pics.

Ditto on the Wet Okoles. I have used mine for about 8 months now and they still look new. Seat Glovers have been having quality issues because they are mass produced and imported (I have a set on another vehicle). The Wet Okoles are made custom in Hawaii, hence the higher quality/price.

I have the Seat Glovers and am mostly satisfied with them, but the light parts are fairly easy to mark up and I haven't tried cleaning them. The only part about them I don't like is how the light gray gets stained (possibly not permament though) so easily. Eventually I will get some new ones, but if WO has prettier lines, I might end up that way.

I am not a fan of the neoprene seat covers. I know WO are good but I was looking for something else. My brother in law swears by Marathon seat covers in his Dodge. They are made of 500D or 1000D Nylon and will not tear or stain. He got them primarily for loading his wet/muddy lab after duck/goose hunting. They have held up flawlessly. Pricey as well. Priced out front/rear for the JK at about $430 and ordered a set for my 2 delivery trucks as well. Money well spen in my opinion.

There are a number of users on this forum that have purchased the "synthetic leather" seat covers from Iggee... you can find 'em on Ebay or Google.

They're considerably cheaper than Wet Okole or the others, and everyone that has them seems smitten with them... I'm considering buying a pair myself. I e-mailed them, and they said that they can make a pair that work with the side airbags (if you have that option).

I've also heard great things about Wet Okole, with only a couple complaints (on this forum); then again, they're pretty $$$ for seatcovers, IMO.

If it matters to you (it does to me) it appears that the Iggee ones do not have a big logo on them like the Wet Okoles does.
(meaning I hate products with giant product logos on them)
