    I didn't like them. The fabric is thick, so it raised my seating position. When i had them I only installed the driver for a day, then immediately took off and sold. I think they use wetsuit material.. so try to imagine that if you know the material

    I've heard they give some nice swamp ass because of the neoprene.

    if you change your mind, I'd consider clazzios, I love mine. I have no idea what the seats underneath look (since they are perforated in the middle) like but the covers still look brand new. I don't have the heat warmers but I think they also have an option.

    I looked at the site. Few more options since the last set I ordered. I've been using them since the late 80s. I really like them. They're perfect for an off-road vehicle because of the waterproofery. And they're easy to clean. My dog left some muddy foot-prints on them the other day and it was an easy spray and wipe with the ol' implements. I don't know so much about the swamp-assery. I've gotten it at some level with all seat fabrics.

    The swamp ass is real!! Like Dave said they raise your seat position. They drove me crazy and I sold mine. Bought these and love them! https://www.autoanything.com/seat-covers/coverking-kryptek-camo-tactical-ballistic-seat-covers

    Im on my second set of those. First grey, and now black. The black seems like the stitching isnt holding. But I barely drive my truck anymore. I think it will hold. The storage is great too!

    I got cheap and bought those. Never again. The stitching was close to bursting in multiple areas. And the foam had broken down as well.

    I'm not doubting you guys, but I'm surprised a 1/2" can be felt. I didn't even know there was that much foam in them. And I'm definitely at the headroom limit in this truck. Are you guys using your A/C? It's a great swamp ass remedy. :D

    The coverking's dont have foam.. ? I lifted the back of my seats by 1/2" and I can definitely notice it

    I dont use AC in my truck because summer is the best time of the year. Gotta absorb all of the heat before winter comes again.

    The neoprene "foam." It's a foam rubber. It started to deteriorate from underneath.

    I mean, I like to open all the windows and stuff as well, but if I'm feeling a little humid I use the A/C. I absorbed enough heat daily riding a motorcycle in AZ. Probably for a few lifetimes.

    oh. My coverking ballistic covers are just the material, no foam.

    I love this weather. My fiance gave me an evil eye today when I told her we werent going to turn on the AC in the house just yet, and to open all of the windows :anonymous:

    Yes! This is my favorite weather. I'm just not good with the humidity.

    Ah. I have nothing against Cover King. They've been around for a while too. I went with the neoprene ones because I was feeling cheap, but wanted the Wet Okole. You would think I had learned this lesson by now. I'm a buy twice kind of guy.

    I always say I love it when I walk out to get the mail, and Im sweating in the 30 feet, is the best weather.. but maybe not as much anymore. Maybe sweating in 10 feet :rofl: Anyways, my bike is air cooled and I dont have AC there, so I will continue to love the weather.

    My solution to swamp ass. This is my first car with cooled seats and I’m a big fan.

    Agreed. I used to scoff at stuff like climate control or push button start but damn it's convenient.

    Seriously though, people who have auto climate controls but set the temp extra high or low because they think "it will work faster" make me want to punch out their windows.
