    I have used Sheep Skin covers on several cars.
    They are really nice, but not cheap!

    I’ve looked at all the suggestions and it’s between Wet Okole, Marathon and Coverking. I just wish I could see the patterns better than their web sites show, tho the Coverking site shows them pretty well. I’ve seen some decent installation videos on YouTube and the Marathons are a lot thinner material than the Wet Okoles and the Marathon installation looks easier than the Wet Okoles. The Coverking site actually shows the different patterns on the seats, which makes choosing a pattern much easier. Confused.

    Coverking is thinner than WO too. I put a set in my dad’s car. Not as thick and fit was not quite as good but still better than a big box store.

    Those Bartacts look nice.
    They look like they fit well.
    The price isn’t to bad either.

    I have wet okoles and the drivers seat is starting to wear

    Those discolored spots are where the colored fabric has separated.

    Marathon will send fabric samples, so I requested the following samples yesterday and it looks like they have shipped them already. Seeing the samples in person and in the truck should help. I just hope they are not 1"x1" in size.

    Realtree AP Cordura Nylon

    Realtree Xtra Cordura Nylon

    Mossy Oak New Break-Up Cordura Nylon

    Kryptek Highlander Cordura Nylon

    Costco has the best deal at $20.00 and they fit great too.

    I replace mine about once a year.

    I purchased it directly through https://www.bartact.com/

    You can customize them ie thread color, two tone, logos, ect.

    My wet okoles are for sale to help pay for my bartacs. If you can afford it, you only really have these 2 options. The fabric and fit are excellent on both but I like the bartacs better and I think they are less prone to static and collecting dog hair like the wet okoles.

    Bartac covers are the best in my opinion. I had there trek armor covers on my Jeep and they are awesome. Im saving up for a pair for the truck now

    The quality, fit, and fabric of the Bartacts are far superior to WO, IMO.

    I concur. Never liked the neoprene material on WO, but thats just preference. Bartact’s fitment, quality, and functionality are superb.

    I have had good luck with Caltrend custom made seat covers. Have had several sets of different vehicles, tough to install because they are TIGHT, but custom. Almost look like seat upholstery when installed. Thinking about getting a set for my Tacoma. Here is a pic of a Caltrend set in Light Gray Tweed on my Jeep XJ:
