They are nice looking seats, but I want to keep them that way. I just ordered the Trek Armor covers. They are newly style for the different 2013 seats and they too are pretty nice looking.

Same here. I'm looking at Trek Armor and Wet Okole. Post an update after you get the Trek Armor's and let us know how you like them and how they fit the new 13 seat.

I had the Wet Okole on a truck without A/C, and wow, the back of my shirt was soaked whenever I left the seat. It was a great fitting and looking cover, but did not breathe one bit.

The main thing that was attracting me to the Okole was the ability to customize the look and how well they fit the seat. If you look at them you can't even tell they are covers. I figured maybe for the price they would breathe a little better and not fade like the cheaper brands. Thanks for the info!

I just read Trek Armor seat covers are not compatible with seats that have airbags. Just be aware of that.
Do you offer seat covers for seats with internal air bags?
Do you offer seat covers for seats with internal air bags?
At this time, we aren't making the seat covers compatible for seats with internal airbags. There is no guarantee that there is enough pressure for the air bag to deploy and have enough power to go through the stitching on the actual seat, and then also get through a flap of some sort on our seat covers. It just creates a lot of liability, and we don't want to cause any issues in case of an accident. Trust me, we would love to do this, but without a lot of testing like we do for our other military seats, it is something that can take a lot of time to insure everything is done perfectly. I know some other manufacturers offer seat covers for those seats with internal air bags, but if you end up going that route, please make sure they have done testing (and ask for the written results) to make sure the air bags will still deploy without any issues.
