Elk Hunter, I vote for Marathon SuperHides seat covers, in camo. This company is in Montana, and I must say my buying experience was very pleasant. I've got a set and really like them. Drive out price for front seat covers, head rest covers, pockets on back of both seats and console cover was $225.00. There is a pic of them in my gallery. If I knew how to post it here, I would.

Good luck!

Those actually look pretty good. Do you have them in the back too? Do you ever have a problem with them sliding off when you get in and out of the truck?

check out the sure-fits in the saddle blanket - a great and very secure fit, almost perfect (missed one of the child-seat brackets in the back seat a bit...)

I like the covers from Geno's. I have the front seats covered with these and I love them.

Do you guys think that the Neoprene covers such as Wet Okole are better than the Nylon Cordura covers such as Superhides??? What would be the pros and cons of each. I am thinking about getting a set and don't know which way to go.

I just ordered a set of Cabela's Trail gear seat covers. I'll post my impressions when they get delivered this week.

I did some looking and the Coverking comes in Leatherette as well as Neoprene, both available in two tones and Velour in one solid color.

Leatherette - As soft as real leather, yet as tough and durable as vinyl. Mated to an extra thick foam backing for added comfort.

Neoprene - The same material used in wetsuits-a tough yet attractive material which is comfortable and waterproof. Mated to an extra thick foam padding for extra support.

Velour - High-quality velour mated to an extra thick layer of foam for added seat comfort.

Anyone have the leatherette? Opinions?

Since I'm not a Costco member, I've been looking online and so far the best non-Costco price is $199 for any of the three types. I want front and rear seat covers, so buying from Costco for $164 + $164 and paying their membership fee of $50, would be cheaper than buying elsewhere.....so far.

No, I don't have them on the back seats, they are folded up 99.9% of the time. And the seat covers do not move when you get in and out. The bottom of the seat and the top of the seat are two separate covers, custom made to fit the Dodge seat. This is why they do not move. I had also considered the Wet Okole covers, but given the price (more than $300.00), and also the fact that the Cordura nylon will not tear, sold me on the Marathon covers.

Like I said, so far I really like them. Good luck in your decision.

One other thing, before I made my decision on Marathon or Wet Okole, I got material samples from both companies, which they will send free of charge. It helped me make up my mind.

I installed the Coverking neoprenes last week. After a long 3 days of duckhunting with wet dogs and wet and muddy people in there I really like the fact that the neoprene keeps the water off the original seats. The covers were easy to install and fit tight without movement. Now I just need to see the durability.
