Default Good seatcovers?

I have a tendancy to leave my windows open/ have my doors off in the rain a lot... Does anyone know any waterproof seatcovers that are decently snug with the xj seats? preferably camo and not gonna cost me an arm and a leg

Check www.seatcovers.net. I had custom camo covers made, they might even be able to do neophrene.

Yeah the Wet Okole seatcovers are neoprene and really nice. They must work pretty well at keeping the seats dry because when I lived in Hawaii I noticed they're pretty popular with surfers and pretty much everyone...

Having owned my XJ for 9 years I must add my 2 cents worth here ... It came with very nice leather power seats & I really want to keep them looking good. I refused to buy Wet Okoles because of the cost. So I've purchased several sets of seat covers over the years, various different brands, types, styles at usually between $20 & $25 each. They look good for a while but they won't last. And altho I wheel fairly hard, I don't abuse my Jeep. After trying all these $50pr seat covers I realized that I had already spent more than the price of the W.O. seat covers, and all I had to show for it was the latest garbage covers with a huge tear down 1 seam & the rest falling apart.

My advice? Just save up & get the good stuff, whether Wet Okole or something similar. You get what you pay for ... Trust me, they're worth it & cost less in the long run. I finally bit the bullet & have a pair now. Shoulda done it years ago. And you can get them in camo.

Alright thanks man. I'd rather save money in the long run so I guess I gotta save up!
