And just like in your situation, these covers are perfect for what I needed in a seat cover. --KLG--

I understand they aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I like the tough fabric and durability of them. If they were black I'd be even happier. For me, function beats form in this category.

For about $650 retail (I paid about $770 with added custom options), I think the Wet Okole covers are better bang for the buck compared to those Carhartts. But since you didn't want to spend that kind of money, I think you could have done a little better buying a cheaper set elsewhere. Just wish I would have seen this thread a little sooner to get you thinking about other, possibly cheaper, options of similar quality. Although, I've never really seen the Carhartts before so I probably wouldn't have been much help anyway. Anyway, I hope they do a good job protecting your seat and hope you enjoy them.

Not sure if you've seen pics but here are my Wet Okole covers for comparison.
