Bartact. I have had them on for 3 years and they have stood up to a lot of abuse. 3 dogs and 2 kids, I even carried concrete blocks in the back seat once. They are tough, look good, and are made in America.

I went with Bartact. Really pleased with them. I also added a cheap, Amazon dog sling to the back seat for the pups. I think the sling carrier (like a back seat dog hammock) cost around $30 and I would absolutely do that again. It’s easy to wash and dry, protects against piddle, puke, and muddy feet.

I have the PRP vinyl seat covers front and rear and I really like them. The fit is very good, they do not require removal of factory upholstery and can be installed yourself. I also like the smooth finish so they don't bunch up like fabric or neoprene, very easy to slide in and out. I had neoprene in a TJ. Never again.
I don't expect the PRP covers to wear like iron or anything, my dog rides in a crate under the bed cap, but they are easy to clean, don't soak up spills, and offer a little extra comfort with the slight cushioning in them. My kids are constantly kicking the seatbacks with their gravel-ridden shoes and it wipes away cleanly without any scratch damage.
I've only had them a year so they still look new. I know they will not last forever and are pricey, but I think they're worth it for my situation.

I had Katzkin installed on my Willys front and rear and they are fantastic. They are a bit pricy but worth every penny. I think they look and feel better than the factory leather.
Katzkin leather or fabric?

Quadratec Diverdown covers are cheap and work ok. Probably not as nice as the higher end covers but for around $200, they do the job. I would either go cheap or as others have said, splurge for Katzkins

I have been looking up each cover that gets mentioned. Most are neoprene which is what I do not want. Hoping to find that slick ballistic material like I had before.

Did you use these on a 2024 Gladiator Sport S?

Over 90k on a set of Carhartt seat covers.

I've definitely not treated them special, few coffee stains on them too, I need to get another set for my Wrangler. I have a set of $$$ seat covers in it but some assclown cut them off and stolen them on Jekyll Island, GA.

just did an upgrade today on seat covers. still on the fence if i prefer the feel neoprene or leather/pleather but thats partly why I am trying different options.

when I bought the JT I put these on intending them to be temporary to prevent kid damage until I fugred out what I wanted.

A year and half later of laziness they were still on. worked well to protect the seats but they were loose and slipped a lot as one would expect of the price point.

I bought a set of Bartacts but never installed them as the material seemed to be very course and potentially uncomfortable.

Thought I was going to get these based on the reviews here and other positive reviews on amazon

But then I ran across these and liked the color pattern. Not a lot of reviews on amazon yet but I presume all these that come from china are coming from basically the same place.

Only had them on a day but so far pleased with the fit, feel, and appearance. The lighting in the pictures is bad and makes them look a little orange but they are actually a really nice red that matches the rubicon red well. Took about an hour to install The only place the fit isn't great is in the middle part of the rear seat on the 60 split side. There isn't really any strapping to hold the seat part down tightly near the spot where buckle comes out so there is a bit of a gap, but the majority of the seat is still protected so its doing its job.

About a month ago I was considering seat covers. But I intentionally purchased a Gladiator with leather for a reason and decided I'd be wasting the extra money spent for the leather. All the covers I looked at were very much form fitting,takes quite bit of time to install and take off.

My main reason for covers is for when I head out boon docking, beach, dirty cloths. And I just wanted something I could install in just a few minuets. Covers and Camo is a seat cover manufacture and have some very unique patterns

I bought a pair of the previously suggested Huidasource seat covers due to the high praise, and the price seemed fair. Two issues ended up causing me to return them, so curious if there's another solution.

1st Issue: Fitment wasn't quite as snug as I was expecting. There was a massive gap between the seat cover and middle section of the seat back. There was also a lot of bunching up by the headrest inserts. This issue wasn't really the deal breaker, but was concerning

2nd Issue (the deal breaker, and real problem): By the time I got the seat back and bottom covers put on, the faux leather was stupid hot to the touch. I didn't even have the roof open, and this only took about 20 minutes. This was quite a concern considering it's only 70 degrees right now (given, it is sunny at the moment). It really scared me for what they would feel like after a few hours of unprotected sun exposure in the dead of summer.

So my question is: Does everyone just deal with how stupid hot their faux (or real) leather seat covers get?? I really wanted to stick with something softer to the touch (so not looking for the canvas style), and I haven't really found a good neoprene option that has as good of reviews and price point as these. Thanks in advance!

I'm a month in to using the CreekT. While summer has technically passed, I don't find they get as hot as my actual blak leather underneath them would. I would say I am just dealing with it by comparison to neoprene definitely did not get as hot.
