What are the best seat covers for the buck?

I was looking at the Marathon Superhides, and the Coverking Neoprene. Anyone one with experience please reply. The Superhides are about $51.00 cheaper and they advertise waterproof on their website - hopefully the quality isn't reduced as result.

Does anyone sell them cheaper than the manufactures themselves? CoverKing - $250 each for the fronts and backs / Marathon $199 for each.

I got a set off Ebay for 100. Front and rear with a Dodge Ram emblam on them. The are made off denim jeam material. So far no issues. But the ones at costco look sweet. Like a wetsuit type material

Ebay had nothing even close when I checked. Let me bump this. I'd like to order some after the weekend.

The best-bang-for-the-buck are the ones from Costco. Do a search and all the info is there.

Bought mine from Costco, your order goes straight to Coverking. You don't get alot of choices on the colorrs, but you can't beat the price for the quality given.

I'll have to go check if our Canadian Costco's even carry the ones from Coverking. I checked their website (.ca) and nothing. Might have to go ask personally.

Marathon seat covers

I've been in touch with marathon and was impressed with rep. on the phone. He's sending me some material swatches to test. They're $199.00 a set. Extras are map pockets in the front and large pockets on the seatbacks. Console is extra too. I think it'll total out to $250 shipped for everything. My friend in Hawaii and his friends buy Marathons exclusively and they live in the place that invented neopreme seat covers. Good price on those from Costco though. P.S. I've had something similiar to Marathons on my '99 for eight years now and they still look like new. Pockets are invaluable.

How long do they take to come in?

Gotta love it! I cannot register an account. I cannot put my address their prescribed fields. It will only accept a US address. And I checked again - there are no seat covers on the Costco.ca website.

Anyone willing to order them and send them up for me? We'd have to do what I did with VikingDiesel on my tires - I sent money, he just paid for and shipped them.

I bought a set of neoprene from Sam's Club, they have held up for two years so far so good. We are always covered in dirt and debris from construction sites, if they start looking dirty I wash them and reinstall. I have a habit of spilling stuff on the front seats, what I like is they hold the liquid without bleeding through.
