Seat Covers

[Big Best]

Have any of you had any experience with Akole seat covers? Made out of neoprene.

I think you are talking about Wet Okole seat covers.



I don't have any personally, but I would sure love a set, I just don't have that money in the budget right now . A friend bought them for his CJ7 and they are fantastic. I was also suprised how much more comfortable they made the seat.

I have a set for the front seats and they are awesome. Couldn't bring myself to spend another 200+ for the rear seat since it is up 99% of the time. Mine have been on for about 20k now and still look great. Haven't noticed any fading and it sits outside all the time but mine are charcoal grey and black so it may be hard to notice until it gets real bad. They do make the seats more comfy.

My neihgbor has some on his Ford. He got them from marathon and has the camo pattern. Looks real good if you like camo.

I have had a full set of these for about three years now. I would not have bought them for myself due to the high cost, but my wife gave them to me as a gift. Now I'm convinced and would buy them again.



They look great, fit like a glove and are very durable. I have about 200 lbs. worth of dogs that like to romp around in the cab when I'm not there and they have yet to damage them. If you do get a tear in one, a little wetsuit glue will make a nearly invisible repair.



To clean them, yard them out, soap them up, hose them off and let dry. I noticed a little fading (lived in So. Cal for a few years) and now use Wet Okole's UV spray.



They are a quality product.

I am curious to know what they look like on the back of the seat, are they open or do they go all the way down to the bottom?



cheers, Kevin

It covers all the way down to the bottom. There is no factory material showing.



One seat consists of two covers - a top (seatback) and bottom (where you sit). The seating area is padded neoprene. The back of the top and the sides of the bottom are of a thinner neoprene material.



Let me know if that didn't make any sense.

Kevin,



I have them in both my trucks (brown camo). They are a little warm in the summer heat but nice in the winter. I got mine from Knights in Shinning Auto out of Roy, UT. If you do happen to ruin a panel they can be sent in and repaired as well.

Kevin,



I'll look for it but I'm sure you can look it up online faster.

For some reason the feeling of dry neoprene against my skin drives me crazy, so I set out to find upholstered covers that fit tight like the Okole's. The ones I settled on are here http://www.autoenhance.com/seatwhy.html They match the Okole's in fit and quality, and the price is lower to. Make sure to set aside a few hours to get a full set on though, they are TIGHT. The back is so tight you can literally not tell it has a seat cover on it, most people are suprised when I tell them the seats have covers at all. And it matches a carpet interior very well if that is important to you.
