Default Wet Okale or Trek Armor?

I am looking at ordering either Wet Okale or Trek Armor seat covers for my JKU '14. I had Wet Okale covers in the past with no real issues, but have also read good reviews about Trek Armor. Pricing seems to be fairly comparable. I'd like to get any relevant input before I place the order. Thanks.

From what I've heard Trek Armor is the way to go. Quality material and very easy to work with. When I pull the trigger on covers it will be TA.

We installed Trek Armor's about 1-1/2 years ago. Still look like new. Fit and look great. All weather comfort. Neoprene can be a bit sweaty here in Fla during Summer. FYI, just dropped the top. Beautiful sunshiny Thanksgiving!

Go with Trek Armor! Wet Okeole will give you swamp ass and start to fray after heavy usage. I speak from experience.

Love my Trek Armors but haven't used the WO.

The seat padding got thicker in 2013 so they were a little tight but still fit. Quite a bit of Velcro is visible along the bottom of the seat back covers.

The molle straps must be spaced differently than standard because the Blackhawk speed clips for my pouches don't match the spacing on the Trek Armors. You can still use the longer ones across less straps but the 3" ones are useless.

Good point on the spacing for the molle straps...we use the Trek Armor bags so they fit nicely but heard the same issue you mention from a friend who said they'll space them to the molle standard for you but it's a custom. Worth asking about but the WO don't have that option and if you do a lot of desert like we do here the WO seem to trap and retain the dust.

Trek armor doesn't have standard MOLLE spacing but he (Mitch) will do it for you if you request. I haven't used WO but trek armor is a great product and they will look after you like none other. He cares what people think of his company and because of that he makes sure everyone is set. You have a problem or issue and call him he will look after you. The quality of product is also great.
