    Pros, cons, what you paid? I want something that comes off fairly easy and I can throw in the wash.

    We bought some ballistics for the wifes CR-V for the rear seats to help with dog claws and now baby messes. I have wet okoles all around for the taco so that's what I'll be comparing them to.

    Balistics Pros:
    -Machine washable
    -Sturdy, ballistic is a good name for them because that's about what it would take to rip/puncture one of them.
    -Waterproof
    -cheaper than neoprene

    Ballistic Cons:
    -Non form fitting, they do not stretch like neoprene does so it will be very obvious that you have seat covers on. Where as the neoprene covers form fit perfectly to the shape of the seat.
    -Slippery they are pretty slick to the touch so things slide around on them very easily.

    It's up to you what you want and what kind of protection\look you are going for. Any other questions let me know.

    when you get in/out of the truck, does your ass take the seat cover with it? I've been looking at saddleman's covers, but haven't decided. Buying for protection from a damn dog also.

    I just installed a set of there neosupreme covers on my reg cab bench seat. They fit very nicely. Only issue I ran into was on the back of the bench seat there is a plastic wide band from the seat back to seat bottom right in the way of the seat cover flaps you need to push through to attach and tighten the cover. I got it to work out by pulling the flap to the side of that plastic band but seems like there should b a better solution. I'm sure on bucket seats this wouldn't b an issue. Very we'll made and great fitting cover otherwise. I got the mossy oak and black ones from auto anything for 179 shipped

    I'm a tradesman so I'm dirty as hell every day. I went with the Cover Craft Seat Savers. They fit much the same, they don't look slick like the wet O's but they are comfortable and easy to take in and out. They breath so you don't get ass/back sweat. I have to take them off and wash almost weekly. Ive had them for 3 month now and im really happy with them.

    I have cover kings in my w250 and okeoles in my taco. the okeoles look like the stock seats. you can hardly tell they are there. the cover kings are more durable. they stay put. I have a bench seat in my w250 so form fitting was not crucial. also have camo pattern so dirt will not show. dog hair comes off of the cover kings easier too. if you take care of your taco and aren't a dirty mess and don't have a dog the okeoles are better. if you have a mutt or two, that travels with you or you get dirty at work or on the weekends the cover kings are better IMO.

    Check out marathon seat covers for good nylon seat covers. The fit looks perfect in the photos and they use 1000d nylon
