    Im looking to order some seat covers.
    Wondering what you guys n gals recommend?
    I do not want a leather or faux leather.
    I want something ; breathable, washable,perhaps spillproof (i can always hit them with a can of scotch guard) a decent fit , perhaps 2 tone.
    I have been looking at
    Carharrt
    Ruff tuff
    Wet okole neoprene.

    Whatcha think?

    I've had the Ruff Tuff Kryptec covers for almost 3 months now. No complaints as of yet! They are durable and they fit like a glove. I treated them with scotch guard before I put them on and gave them a quick test. They were expensive but worth every penny.

    Edit: Actually, I did have one complaint. The bottom of the seat covers have a piece of braided rope-like material that ties them down for a super secure fit. However, The rope broke as I was securing it. I plan on running 550 cord through it, which would be super easy. I dont have them tied right now and the seat covers have not moved.

    I got the cheapie Costco bucket seat covers.... while not WetOkoles, they actually look ok and were like $20.

    I really have mine to lessen the wear and tear on the seats.... especially sliding in and out. They work and look alright, but don't look as good as the WetOkoles.

    I just had to stretch it over the seats and make sure that you hook up all the straps and that they are pulled tight. I had to straighten a few times, but after about a month of cycling temps in the heat, all that calmed down. They do need a little time to stretch out.

    They still don't look as good as the Wetokoles or Katskins, but they are pretty cheap and look decent for as cheap as they are. I really just wanted to keep wear, dirt and grease off the seats and this was a good cheap solution.

    It's not a car show kind of seat cover.

    I got some wet okole's, love em so far!

    Little hot in summer but worth it for protection of seats and re-sale value.

    I had coverkings and they didn’t fit that well. I have Carhatt’s now and fit is great. Love the material.

    I hate leather as well.

    Yeah the Wet Okoles are custom build to order. I have contacted them over the phone to be sure that I am getting what I want.

    Spending an hour or so on the install to make sure they fit well is definitely worth it.
