    I’m looking for some tough washable close fitting seat covers made from canvas or cordura type fabric. I’ve gone round and round over these and a few other brands but having trouble determining just how snug fit. Ideally I’d want them as close to factory looking as possible while still being able to pull off to wash a couple times a year.
    Would appreciate any experience with these or other brands. These seem to run between about $500 and $1k and I’m wondering if there’s really that much of a difference?
    Specifically looking at these:https://www.covercraft.com/product/cordura-marathon-excel-custom-seat-covers/PFC-PFCO

    I’m not too much help. I’ve had the carhartt versions on 2 vehicles (not my tundra), and they were great, fit well and were very durable. No experience with the cordura version.

    Actually that is a help. Did you have the seat savers or precision fit? Any pics?

    These were in a Nissan Frontier i had before the Tundra. This picture is after a few years of use and washes. Seats still looked new underneath. I would have no issues buying these again if i was looking for a set. I also had a set in a Ford Edge (work car), they fit well there too, no issues.[​IMG]

    Thanks those look much more snug than a lot of the pics I’ve seen. Maybe it’s about breaking them in.

    Marathon WAS the way to go. Custom cut and fit, I had Cordura covers in a Chevy from 2003 to 2019, faded but intact and still waterproof. Alas, they were bought out and have gone the way of all the mass market slip on covers.

    I have Marathons on my Gen 2.5. Just got Covercraft Marathons on my Gen 3. Not bad but not the same. A little loose on the back seat bottoms. If Covercraft uses the same patterns as my Marathon Gen 2.5 you are good.

    Just another option for you to consider at that price point is Wet Okole. I've been extremely happy w/them and they are well built and constructed of real neoprene.

    I have Shear Comfort. Love them. They fit great, super tight, hard to even tell there is a seat cover on the seats. I've had the fronts for a total of over four years now, in two different trucks. Unfortunately the rear covers I forgot at the insurance lot when I stripped my wrecked truck.

    If I remember correctly, I have the Neo-supreme line.

    Thanks but based on my experience with wetsuits and hunting waders, I’m guessing they would be too hot for comfort here in the humid SC lowcountry. I’ve been plagued with swamp arse here all my life and don’t want anything that’s gonna make it worse.

    I’d heard that but didn’t know if it was just their competitors knocking them or if they’d really weakened the product.
