    Wet Okole are made from a material that is water proof.
    Does it make you sweat just sitting on it?

    E.g.
    http://www.wranglerforum.com/f33/seat-covers-for-a-sweaty-driver-259756.html

    or
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...t-okole-seat-covers-all-their-cracked-up.html

    I probably answered my own question


    non-breathability is why I hate leather seats. sounds like same issue with neoporene.

    I actually like TRD seats so far.

    Anyone that rides with me hates them in the summer because they don't breath. When you get out and it looks like you peed your pants you know its hot out. In the winter they keep you nice and toasty though. Through all of this though I would buy them every time they do such a nice job protecting your seats, the fit is perfect, their comfy, and they look good.

    Edit: I dont really use the ac in the summer so that may be my problem.:notsure:

    I had them in my Jeep and yes they are sweaty. Over time they also shifted around a bit so I had to constantly straighten them out upon getting in. But hey, they seem to be all the rage here.

    it makes you sweat. if you dont have the ac on you'll notice pretty fast, all on a warm day of course. had mine for 30K miles, i still love them and would buy again.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I am going to hold on to my $400 until I can test these in someone else's vehicle.

    Given my someone unique personal characteristics, I have reason to doubt that these will work for me as well as they have worked for the rest of you.
