    Just picked up my brother-in-laws 2007 double cab tacoma. My boys and I do a lot of surfing and river kayak fishing - so will be getting in the truck many times with wet board shorts and fishing shorts. Did a lot of reading on the forum about Wet Okoles seat covers. Looks like the neopreme Coverkings are $325 and the Wet Okoles are $250. My surfing buddy has the coverking neopreme seat covers and likes them a lot, but is there really that much of a difference for $75. Thanks and sorry if this has been covered before. Great forum, but looks like I'll be constantly saving up for new mods thanks to your guys. ;)

    I had Okole Wets when I was in my early 20's and they survived all kinds of bodily fluids, so water wasn't even a big deal. None of it didn't get through to the actual upholstery.

    I've had both WO and CK at different points and I'd go with the Wet Okole's any day. Better quality IMO

    FYI, there is a group buy on the Okoles that will get 20% off if you sign up this week.

    If you are going to be driving with the wet clothes for a bit the wet okoles will soak up some of the water and possibly stink some after awhile. But for little spills and a short distance they are great. Just my experience

    Thanks Kodiak - that makes the front seat set almost $100 cheaper over the coverkings and could almost do the front and back seats in wet okloes for about $100 more than just the front seats of coverkings!!! :D
