I've had the seat glovers for nearly a year now and I can say they're junk. Seams coming apart, buckles to weak too stay shut, no experience with the Okoles but I will definitely be giving them a shot this summer.

waoh they are hella cheap on that site... its like 400$ for the set, then -60$ ?? even if you make them full piped its still under 400$ for a full set of covers... thats way way wayyyy better then the 600$ I hear about. hahaha If its really high 300's I am going to be buying these in one week.

My husband has the Wet Okole's in his TJ and loves them. He has had no problems with them. They still look brand new. I have heard the more you wash them the longer they last.

From what I've seen it's the opposite. The Seat Glovers are the ones that come apart at the seams, there's multiple threads on here with those issues. I put 70k miles on the Wet O's on my '04 TJ and they looked good as new when I sold it, not even faded.

they are not worth the 600 for the covers. go with seat glovers. half the price for the same workmanship and same material.
then you can tak the other half and putit back into the jeep. the not seets!
oh yea and the "WETS" have a bad habit of coming undone at the seams after prolonged weather exposure.

I've got seat glovers (w/air bag flaps). My buddy has the Wet Os ...... there is no comparison. I'm not thrilled with the quality of the seat glovers .... but for the difference in price I'll live with them for now

Seat Glovers
I have Seat Glovers and they look awesome. The piping you can get with the Okoles looks really cool. It's all about personal preference. I didn't want to pay an additional 300 dollars for piping. The Seat Glovers are great quality and I really like them. If you search enough threads you will see that people with both brands have had different experiences. Some say their Okoles were crap, some say their Seat Glovers were crap. It all really depends on how you treat them and protect them. ANYTHING will fade in the sun, I don't care who makes it. And with prolonged heat/sun exposure comes the splitting threads. UV rays will do damage to anything that has long exposure. If you want to protect them from the sun, us 303 Aerospace Protectant. It will keep them from fading and will keep them looking new for years. I have a buddy who uses the 303 on his entire Jeep (roll bar covers, dash, bumpers, fender flares, you name it) and nothing has faded. I just bought some and put it all over mine as well.... I say no matter which brand you go with, if you protect them properly you'll be happy with them.
