I have always preferred red headed seat covers but have also found them to be trouble prone and are generally high maintenance.
I like the BesTop seat covers they fit well and are a great color match!
I am thinking about getting a set of wet okole's for my Jeep. Waiting on the swatches to come in to see about the colors.

I live up in Canada and we get lots of rain. The last thing I would want to be sitting on is a sponge rubber seat cover!. LOL, they don't call them 'wet' for nothing....
I also run with the top off lots so sunburn on the seats is a big issue too.
I just use the cheaper covers. The come off and wash easy and they dry out really fast.

I've had both 1 piece besttop and 2 piece neoprene (don't recall the brand). The besttop was more expensive but lasted longer and fit better. I am constantly battling with keeping the neoprene seat on the seat.
The next set I get will be a lose fitting gore-tex type material. I don't recall the brand.
lol I like to bird watch from my Jeep. I especially love watching the "red headed, double breasted, bed-thrasher."

There isn't much prettier out there.
Unfortunately you know the old saying... Once you go red you are better off dead.... or is it just me that says that?
Thanks for the info, gives me something to think about!

Billy, I have heard lots of guys use that very same saying...(lol) Unfortunately I have never had that pleasure.......But I do like to watch them as Spdloader says....

Watching.... from a distance.... a far far distance.... is the only safe way to enjoy the sight...
Dog hair sticks nicely to the neoprene:^) However it comes off with those rolly-sticky thingamajigs. After trashing the neoprene in a year I've switched to the cheap/washable ones. They are more slippery for my dog tho...he almost shot out the other side of my truck first time on them!

So this is a good thing then. Never have liked that dog!
It's only a problem if the doors are off!;^)

Yeah, and if you try to get rid of them, you still have to keep making payments anyway. Cheaper to keep 'em.
