    Not an option. She's a cab queen :)

    Cordura is horrible with hair. Several friends with Jeeps had seats that looked like hair mats. The length of the hair may make a difference.

    Good to know. Might be a matter of denier also, some cordura is really rough textured.

    I have a 70lb Lab...she sheds a lot, also her nails even when clipped are like claws.

    I have wet okoles.

    What I do is use an old sheet across the back seat to catch most of the hair and keep her claws from destroying the covers. I have even thought about getting one of those pet mat covers with the seatbelt cut outs to make it easier to use...

    The wet okoles are cause we love going to the beach.

    Is the hair that makes its way to the Wet Okole cover hard to remove? Does it cling and pierce or is it (relatively) easy to wipe off/vacuum?

    I use a shop vac to get the little hair that gets past the sheet off and its not too bad.

    I can see it being a pain if there was a lot of hair on as it likes to cling a bit.

    I just took my German Shepherd for a spin in my (new to me) Tacoma Quad Cab.

    Just like stated earlier, her coarse hair pokes through the covers and is all but impossible to get out with a vacuum.

    My wife suggested one of those cheapy lint rollers like you use on clothing. I hate to admit, but it worked like a champ.

    Statistically speaking, after 28 years, she was due to be right at least once.

    :rofl:
    :rofl: I'm getting married in two weeks.

    28 x 365 = 10220
    1/10220 = .00009 % Wife is right

    I think I can hang with those odds :)
