Neoprene Seat Covers

Post by n0m4d »

It’s spring and I’ve been thinking about sprucing up the Crew a bit. God knows I’ve been spending enough to keep up with the leaks and engine issues. I was thinking about recovering the tired looking seats with some nice neoprene seat covers. Has anyone had any experience with these types of covers? Any con’s that I may need to know about? Here is the company I’m planning of ordering from:

I like the kinda like the red.

Even better I’d like to just replace the seats with leather but I can’t locate a rear leather seat.

Hmm, I would be leary.

Have you ever wore neoprene? It does not breath well at all. A layer of soft fabric over the top might help but I can't see it breathing near as well as a cloth seat.

Of course how well does leather breath? I never have any complaints in the Bravada so maybe it isn't that much of an issue with seats. I just know that anything neoprene that is wore on the body sucks after a couple of minutes. Of course here again I have had leather gloves that feel fine but I've had neoprene gloves that were full of sweat ina couple of minutes.

IDK, just a thought.

Thats kinda along the line of what I'm woried about. I'd hate it if they were hot and sticky (some things are better hot and sticky). I do spend a lot of time in my truck and often i'm muddy and/or wet. I do a ton of Mountain Biking and Skiing and whatever is outdoors that involves speed and dirt/snow. I've seen the Katzkin before and i know they are really nice and really expensive. I'd hate to dump a ton of cash into these seats since this is the first truck out of 3 that has gone more than 3 years without breaking off a handle. Maybe i'll look into salvaging leather seats for the front (electric and heated) and get matching katzkin for the rear.

I have a new problem today anyway, when i turn kinda hard to the right i get a nice metal on metal squeal/grind from the underside somewhere. Everytime i think about an upgrade, that cash ends up in a repair.
