    Its time for seat covers and I have settled on neoprene. The fully water proof CR grade stuff and not neosupreme. I think that narrows the options down to Wet Okole, Coverking, Northwest, and Saddleman. I believe both Saddleman and Northwest use real CR grade but still need to verify. Since all neoprene will eventually fade I am leaning toward Saddleman since they are quite bit less expensive. Northwest is also in the mix since they are within driving distance. Anyone have first hand experience with either Saddleman or Northwest?

    Okay, I lied. I didn't pull the trigger last month so this is the last bump. :)

    For the money I think they are great. They are approaching three years old at this point and still show no damage, failed stitching, or wear spots. Its my daily driver and Ive been in and out of the truck countless times soaking wet and/or covered in mud and dirt. Even haul my buddies black lab around on the back seat when hunting on occasion. In short I don't take care of them in any way except the truck is garaged almost every night. Maybe arent quite as cushy, or have as perfect a fit, as Wet Okoles but for the the price its close enough to my eye and ass. Some days they get a bit hot in the summer here and make a guy sweat a bit. Depending on where you live that may or not be a problem. If I had to do it again I would have gone with waterproof ballistic nylon and just dealt with a poorer fit. That's what I plan to do with my Jeep.

    Should clarify that I bought the Saddleman covers.
