Default Smittybilt seat covers

Anyone running them and willing to share some feedback. Did a bunch of thread searches and didn't come up with much.

How do they hold up to UV fade?
Are they just a 1peice? Looks like the headrest is under the main cover.

I like the wet okoles but the price is steep.

Also looks like the marathon cordura covers are pretty nice.

Also does anyone know if the SBs have child seat access holes?

Mine started coming unstitched after a month in a couple of areas - but not terribly bad. Drivers seat strap clasp broke on it's own accord after 1 year. Mild fading. I bought them at a 4 wp show and paid for the 2 fronts and got the rear for free. For what I paid for them I think they were worth it. I'll get 1.5-2 years out of them. Thats about as long as my 2x cost Wet Okoles lasted before they faded from black to brown anyway.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

It looks like I can get a set (front and rear) for roughly 190.

I'm gonna do some price digging on the marathons as those look pretty damn nice.

I have been running these things for about a year now and no problems.....have taken them off once to wash them in the washing machine.
