    I have been going back and forth on seat cover brands for a while. Its between Ruff Tuff and Wet Okole.
    Wet Okole has an amazing reputation in the Tacoma world, so they are a given, but Ruff Tuff is the only brand I have found that has the new Tactical Kryptek Camo design. It looks......amazing. Tried to add a picture of their covers but their website appears to be having some issues right now. (RuffTuff.com if you wanna go take a look) But, I haven't been able to find much in the way of reviews on Ruff Tuff. Don't want to fork over hundreds of dollars for a maybe.
    Anyone have any experience with Ruff Tuff? Good, bad? Got any pics you could share? The next Wet Okole group buy is coming down the pike, so it's time to shit or get off the pot I guess.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    .....or this. I have a Pyrite Mica, but with a black and grey interior, so not sure if this would clash or not....
    Thoughts?

    I don't think it will clash.

    I have the wet Okole realtree pattern and love them in the hot Az sun. Really comfortable and easy to clean.

    I like the Kryptek pattern , but if they sold sitka or kuiu seat covers I would have bought those- LOL

    You can't go wrong with wet Okole. Plus you can get a matching center console cover!

    Either way post up what you buy!

    They look interesting, however I don't know about them so I cannot say anything about them. I been looking at the Wet Okole myself, but a lot of cash to drop if you end up hating them!

    ^^^ Yes!! I would like to catch the group buy if I go with the Okoles, but if I go with the Ruff Tuff's it will be close to $750 :(

    I wonder if someone could convince Wet Okole to buy the rights to do the Krypteks?
    THAT WOULD BE COOL!!!!

    I am having same dilemma...Ruff Tuff versus Wet Okole. I was looking to get camo in center with black side panels. Ruff Tuff's website can do it but Wet Okole's web site does not. I have found a couple pics of Wet Okole's with that set up but they are older so maybe they used to do it. Also was thinking the Denier material from Ruff Tuff might hold up longer than the neoprene from Wet Okole but it's hard not to go with Wet Okole when there is soooo much positive feedback about them. Like you I need to shit or get off the pot so I put my name in on the Wet Okole group buy. Looking for 2 sets one for Tacoma and one for Tundra. Maybe I should try one of each but alot of $$ to end up hating one of them.

    I had the same question on the side panel colors on WetOkoke, and I called and asked them and they said they can do it, but if you are ordering online you basically have to order then solid and then call them and change it over the phone.

    If I can do that I will stick with Wet Okole and the group buy. It will be significantly cheaper than the ruff tuff and everyone seems to be happy with them. Thanks!

    Anyone have experience with the comfort factor of the 'canvas' type seat covers like Ruff Tuff? Like if I'm wearing shorts, are they gonna chaffe the hell outta the back of my knees?

    Haven't heard about Ruff-n-tuff till now and will check them out. I have been looking at GTCovers. They have canvas, neoprene, leather..etc. They are also located in Co. A co-worker had them installed and they look great FWIW:)
