I have two labs that ride with me, expensive seat covers are not in the picture. These RC neoprene custom seat covers were only $129 from Amazon, front and rear. The fronts have full cover backs with map pockets, takes 15-20 minutes to install. They FIT. 
Don't you find the neoprene a bit hot?I have two labs that ride with me, expensive seat covers are not in the picture. These RC neoprene custom seat covers were only $129 from Amazon, front and rear. The fronts have full cover backs with map pockets, takes 15-20 minutes to install. They FIT.
I had them, hot in the summer "term is swamp ass" and here in the North East you get shocks in the winter every time you touch metal.

I haven't had a problem with them being hot. These are actually 4 different layers of material and I am quite pleased with them. Nowhere near as hot as leather or vinyl would be. I live in Tennessee and its been 95 with high humidity at times . Haven'
t had them in winter time.

Dumb question follows:
What are Molle straps?
Are they the attachment things I see in the photo?
Chris, why do you not want them, are they somehow bothersome?

I am very pleased with the ROUGH COUNTRY from Amazon for $129 front and rear and my two chocolate labs have not hurt them.

Installed the Bartact Basic seatcovers . . . . graphite is actually a light-medium grey.
Was tempted to remove the seats to ease instillation. Un-bolted the console and moved to the side helped with the install. Seem comfortable . . . time will tell !

The design of the molle covers as far as the seat front is sharp, if you can get that without the molle , you will be real happy.
They don’t look like covers . They look factory . The zippered pouches are nice on them too, the ones sewn into the back and under your knees.
Then heated seats . Then smile.

Maybe this will help - free swatches from marine vinyl suppliers. These are black, grey, charcoal, and “agate” samples on a khaki dash panel, which is sitting in a “spice” neoprene seat. The khaki is tough to match, but the charcoal seems to go well with it, and if you want grey the charcoal might help pull it together. Honestly the grey draws more attention when it’s away from the panel - the back of my mind keeps saying “something doesn’t look right,” I think because the khaki is warm and the grey is cool. IMO th black and charcoal seem to be the best (granted my Jeep is black with charcoal carpet so maybe I’m biased). I’d like to find a softer or not so dark black - maybe fabric?
I ordered samples of spacer mesh and am looking forward to seeing how it looks, and how it will sew to the vinyl on my machine

I’m young and I experienced, what’s wrong with neoprene before I make the mistake of buying them? There waterproof. First car here.

I believe the consensus on neoprene is it’ll make your back and ass a sweaty mess when you arrive at your destination.

Go with the cloth type, I've had them 3 summers now and still in good condition, the neoprene lasted 1 summer before they started to crumble
