Seat Covers - material?
I know there are tons of seat cover threads but i couldnt find much on the different materials.
Im looking into getting seat covers but I cannot decide. The Wet Okole Neoprene seem to be the best and most liked out there but are expensive. I found some Coverking Ballistic Cordura seat covers for like $150 a set and they are custom fit like the Wet Okole's. From the description they seem to be a good durable material but I wanted to see real ppls opinions first. Finally I was also looking at the Coverking Leatherette, seem to be durable like leather but im not sure I like leather.
Heres links so you know what im talking about:
Coverking Ballistic-Cordura http://www.autoanything.com/seat-cov...A4643A0A0.aspx
Coverking Leatherette: http://www.autoanything.com/seat-cov...A4631A0A0.aspx
Wet Okole Neoprene: http://www.autoanything.com/seat-cov...A1484A0A0.aspx
What are your pros and cons to each of the seat covers and material?
Also post your pics if you have some please.

Bump!
I'm about to pull the trigger on some seat covers as well and have pretty much the same questions as you. . . Doesn't seem like there is much response yet. I'll be following closely.
I'm honestly leaning toward the Wet Okole based solely on reputation alone. I was just hesitant due to price.

I went with the Cabela's (Hatchie) new suede like covers. So far still happy with them. I posted a thread on em. Very comfortable, and they haven't bunched on me as that was my biggerst fear. Came with armrest cover as well. I did the back seats also. Front and back with armrest and pockets cost me under $400.
I would buy them again. AP camo pattern blends with the tan interior really well. Also, machinewashable, drip dry though,
