Neoprene seats - Who has them? Are they comfortable?

[will e]

I am looking at new seats and am considering Neoprene.

I live in AZ and it gets hot. How are these compared to cloth/leather for sweat and general heat?

I have these:

in my YJ and have been very happy with them.

Yep, those are the ones I am looking at. Apparently will bolt right onto our seat frames.

I had never thought about them for a full size, so I have no idea about their compatibility, but I'm sure even if they aren't' a direct bolt in, it wouldn't be that difficult to get em secured some how. I have had a pair in my YJ for about two and half years and like I said, I've been pleased. They are comfy and even in an always-open top YJ, the heat hasn't been an issue as it would be with leather or vinyl.

Will'e,
I had the Wet-O-kole covers on my Cherokee for about 5 years out here in AZ. The neoprene is basically wet suit material. Out here in AZ in the summer, they suck. Swamp-Great Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley Moogley! Would not breath at all. Great for an open top jeep that gets wet though. Just my experience. So, how is the deal going on the Cherokee?

I have Neoprene covers in both my trucks. They're very durable and clean up easy, but you get swamp *** on a hot day in them.

Swamp Azz... no good.

Worse than Vinyl? Maybe I will just go with good old fashioned cloth.


I picked up the 82 WT from Jerry. I am both excited and apprehensive. I am about to dump some more cash into a car I barely know! LOL

I am going to strip off most of the exterior parts this weekend and then give it to a shop to paint. I wanted to switch to the same color as WILL E but that adds a lot to the cost so I am going to go with the original RED color.

It's a good jeep. The doors shut nice, not a lot of rattles to it. I am going to swap my 401/727/208 into it. I will let you know when the swap party is!

Neoprene is the only way to go. Cloth wears out too fast. Plus its waterproof!

Well as a fellow desert rat, no neoprene here...

I thought about it last year until I was in a friend's baby Jeep-and in 10 minutes I was miserable...

Too dawggone hot in the summer here-ya gotta have something that breathes!!
