I don't have a Jeep yet.... but thinking of buying one.



I know that the wet okele seat covers are for Jeeps.... but they also make them for cars so i bought some for my Mazda Protege.



Ive noticed that in only abt 2 years time.... they are starting to wear.... break down .... from the sun I suppose.



Are there any other seat covers better or worth checking?



What abt just some covers made form a nylon such as Cordura nylon.... or maybe a smooth faced nylon for easier sliding in/out?



The wet okele are made of wet suit material and as such have some "padding" to them. I really do NOT need padding in a seat cover.... only durability and easy off/on.



Advice or opinions?


I bought the Bestop seat covers last year. Excellent quality.

That's the problem tho..... I do NOT think neoprene is the best material for seat covers.

Neoprene doesn't hold up well to sunlight exposure.

I think a coated nylon would be a better material..... with no padding.

OK...wel let us know what you think after using them awhile.

Im just saying that Im disappointed with the wet okole seat covers. I took them off to was them last week and noticed they had degraded pretty quickly due to sunlight exposure...... and this was in a Mazda Protege that has a roof..... not a Jeep with no top on it.

Yes.... I think you are correct.....and I admit I didn't put any UV protection on mine either.
