Default What do you know about Seat Covers?

What is the best seat cover material? I've seen some neoprene ones that just soak up water....I'm partial to the vinyl ones, because you can just wipe the water off of them if it rains.

What's your experience?

i've got the smittybuilt neoprene ones and had them for a little over a year and they are worn out allready. the stitches are coming apart everywhere. when you do do it spend some money on a good set, a set that will last. because if you don't by the time you buy 2 sets you could have gotten one really good set. so with that said i like the neoprene and i've seen the wet oakles first hand, they will be my next set.

Agreed, but also tough to clean. I guess if you are not prone to getting your ride dirty. I plan on too much time with the half doors on and the top off for those to work. Is there a good vendor for Jeep Sheepskin Covers?

I've owned the Wet Okoles, Seatglovers, and the Marathons. The Wet Okole seat covers were cut perfect, quality was great, but neoprene does soak in a little water and wear out after a couple years. Seatglovers were crap, crooked seams, discolored quickly (in my Camaro). Marathons are much more resistant to water, tearing and damage, but they are a rougher feeling material. I would go with the Marathons again because they will last the longest.
