    Does anybody have any experience with their wet okole seat covers showing signs of wear and tear. On my driver side cover, the outer seam is tearing and coming apart. I have always been careful when getting in and out of the truck. I've had the covers for a couple years and I only drive my truck on the weekends, during the week I drive a company truck.
    The covers are nice but I've never been a fan of the sweaty butt syndrome in the summertime. Now I'm wondering what else is out there. Does anyone have experience with gtcovers? I've been looking at their leather seat covers and was wondering how well they fit.
    Here is a pic of the tear in my driver side seat that I was talking about:

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    I've had mine for over 5 years and only the piping is frayed.

    That looks like something caught the material. I've been in and out of mine almost daily for 5 years and the red piping is toast, but majority of cover is great.

    X2. I have a collective 178000 miles on 2 pairs of Wet Okole covers. They have been jumped on by dogs, had wood logs (small) drug over them, puked on, pee'd on, farted on, gallons of water sitting on them (uncontained), burned with smokes, and coffee spilled on them. Never had one tear.

    That's exactly what it does look like. I'm very cautious about getting in and out of my truck. I'm also not saying I didn't do this but kinda makes me wonder what the guys have in their pockets when I get my oil changed. Oh well such is life. Like I said earlier maybe I will try something else.
