I've been wanting to buy some seat covers for awhile now. Since I bought my TJ brand new in 2005, my factory seats have seen a lot of everyday abuse. And buying NEW seats would be pretty expensive.

@Chris had a good review on seat covers that he recommends. And I researched his choices quite a bit. I just kept coming back to the Bartact.

I LOVE the fact that's it's an American Company selling their American made items. And they are a pleasure to talk to on the phone.

You can get a variety of different colors, but I wanted black. Unfortunately, they were out of stock, and they had a 5 week wait period.

Now, I'm not a patient man, and my wife would agree. When I buy something, I want it NOW. And I saw where other online sites had the seat covers in stock. But, I wanted to support an American Company, so I ordered from them.

To my surprise, I received a shipping notification almost 2.5 weeks later.
This made me very happy!

I received the seat covers today, and these would have been worth waiting for 5 weeks. They fit very nice, and very tight. They made my worn factory seats comfortable again. And the cab looks almost brand new once again.

I also ordered the lumbar support bladder. It's cheap, and I wasn't expecting much out of them. But my wife was happy with how they worked. So that's good.

I also really liked the storage bags that came with them. A small bag for each front seat, with a larger bag for the rear. I fastened the rear bag to the passenger seat instead. And I plan on buying another one for the driver side.

I'm very pleased with these. And from here on out, these are the seat covers I recommend. The quality is exceptional, and I can't wait to put some abuse towards them.
 
I abdolutely love mine. My dogs beat the heck out of my and just takes a brush to get the dog hair off. Love also getting off the boat and not worried about a towel or staining my seats. Glad to see you like them!
 
They look good, but what are they made of? Please don't say neoprene...

Nope, not neoprene. That's a question I asked them the first time I called. He said they'd never use cheap material like that.

They use some sort of waterproof polyester material. Granted, the seat covers are not water proof, just water resistant.
 
That's good then! I have no idea why any of these seat cover manufacturers started using neoprene. It's such a horrible material for seats. Either way, these look impressive! They look like they fit just as good as my IGGEEs, mine are just vinyl instead of polyester obviously.
 
100% these covers. Ive been eyeing them for a year. They do look great and the quality is excellent. The YouTube clip going around says it all. I was also able to see / feel them in person at NJ Jeep Invasion.

Got a set for my front seats also. Black with charcoal inner section. Best seat covers I have had, worth the cost. Today I had the top down and a quick storm blew through and wet the interior pretty well. Took a towel to the Bartact covers, seemed like it hadn't even rained. Love 'em.

The zippered pockets on the seat fronts (and backs) are a great feature also.

I have the Bartacts in front. Will be ordering the rear seat cover soon. Like Reece, I wanted to try them out in front before ordering the full set. I could not be more impressed with them. Probably the cheapest, most effective way to upgrade your interior.
 
I had neoprene covers in my TJ and didn't want the same in the LJ. I researched the Bartacts online before deciding to pull the trigger. It's tough shelling out that much cash just for seat covers but they are worth it. I did fronts only, too. I got a deal on them at an off road expo in Ft Worth for $280 and shipped free.

Installion is quick and simple. They fit very snug. The MOLLE system was a little quirky for me at first but I quickly got the hang of weaving the straps and like it now. I only have the bags that come with them but one day might add more as I see necessary. The front zipper pocket is convenient.

I have small kids and found this handle on eBay that works well on the back of the passenger seat to give them a grab handle to help pull themselves up and into the LJ.

I think I will eventually get the rear cover too. Will look for another show special.

I haven't had to test their waterproof claim but only the stitching is said to not be waterproof. Water can wick thru the stitching but they told me I could use seam sealer on the backside to help lessen that.

I don't think anyone would be disappointed in these covers once you're past the expense vs. lesser quality covers.
