    Carhartt. They fit great. Repel water and sweat. Machine wash safe. Have them in my truck. I work construction and get dirty and sweaty everyday. My trucks interior still looks great.

    I got a wet okole set, should have listened to a few that stated they are hot. They are hot, don't breath, and repel body heat back at you. Wish I had gone another route for the money I spent.

    I just installed Marathons on mine. Fit was great....the bottom straps can be a bi...h to thread under the seat, but threading it with a coat hanger was the answer.

    Looking for similar recommendations for seat covers. I've got Wet Okole covers for my 2017. They have protected my seats as expected, frequent trips to the beach with wet shorts have been no problem. They fit well and feel fine. I haven't had issues with them getting hot ( I also have black). This is my second set and my issue is the cost. Even with the GB it's $$. Any recommendations for lower cost seat covers that would work well for my 2006 Tacoma, which is my kayak/beach truck? Looking for durable, waterproof covers that are easy to clean and better priced than the Wet Okoles

    I’m going to be a carharrt naysayer. I have them and hate them. Look crappy, feel crappy, fit crappy, especially for what you pay. There’s gotta be a better option. I would not buy them again.

    Just my two cents......don’t believe the hype. YMMV

    One more for Carhartt.
    Edit with elaboration:
    I wanted dirt and sweat protection, kid protection, and something that didn't make me hot like I'd read about neoprene covers. I wanted something washable and reasonably priced. They're rugged, not pretty. And that's fine for me, because it's a truck, and the OEM fabric is delicate and a PITA to clean. I find them comfortable, no complaints there. The rear seats were easy, the front seats were more difficult.

    I bought Clazzio leather. Expensive ($500.00), great fit, easy install, look as good as factory.
    I know nothing about any other brands. There may be better, but I am VERY happy with my Clazzio leather.

    I think we are talking about different things here. The Carhartt covers aren’t a great looking seat cover like the Clazzios. They are tough covers to protect your seats. I tend to leave screw drivers in my pockets which can do a number on your factory seats.

    I just bought some generic neoprene bucket seat covers from Costco for $20. They actually look fine on the seats. They do work well.

    I will say the Carhartt ones don't look all that great on the seat.

    I had some cheap seat covers on when I first got my truck, all they did was sift the dirt that got on my seats.

    I don’t think carhartt was going for looks as much as protection. The seats look brand new still and smel bee still. The covers have also saved my seats from holes. I routinely forget to remove tools from my back pockets and sit in. Without the covers I’d have a million holes.

    Have you looked at Cover Kings? Costco has a neoprene cover for like $25 for front seats.

    A back step for when I get older, Carhartt seatcovers, 4Runner wheels, Topper, and "tats all folks"! --for now!!
    Carhartts -- I have them -- I love them --best mod I have done.(wait --maybe not as good as my wheels!) Mine fit perfectly and look great -- I can post pics if needed --its raining now and so maybe later if needed.
    I washed them before putting them on, and I think that added a lot to the way they fit and feel. Sort of like after the first time I washed my Carhartt coat, as it is the same type of fabric.
