I got the last pair of grey ones in the USA. They were an add on to another shipment of seat covers that were ordered from Africa earlier this year. I know they have a few other colors in stock, but would move pretty fast.
Quick note, make sure to get the directions from Equipt on how to properly install them. Also, put the bottom cushion on first, secure it, and then do the backrest. It's the opposite of what they tell you in the generic written instructions but please trust me on this one. The first seat took an hour doing it their way. The second seat took 15 minutes doing it my way.
Also, it ships with a cover for the center console, which I wasn't expecting. Unfortunately, the bands that hold it on need to be removed and replaced in a different spot with velcro straps. Not a big deal, but still a bit of a pain.

Also, are those pics of the "Cotton canvas" or the "Airotec" type?
Currently attempting to install my Escape Gear seat protectors. The rears have gone in easily, the front are a whole different beast. Anyone have any advice on removing the driver and passenger seat back covers near the base, where the seat and back meet? I found the elastic band, however I do not want to just yank on it if there is a known way to access the area.
Much Appreciated!

So what caused your leather seats to wear out so fast? Or are you just trying to keep your seats looking new?
My leather seats are perfectly fine. My lifestyle and the environment I live and play in are not conducive to maintaining new leather. I am in and out of the vehicle constantly covered in snow, mud, river wash, sand etc.
You need to go to nicer Malls
Totally agree. I heard they sell Christmas trees in mall parking lots. So I went to get one this past weekend. Needless to say, the store selection was awful at this location.
Good one
Hooks were located and installation is complete.
Hey all, resurrecting this old thread on Escape Gear covers... Can anyone confirm if the rear seat covers are compatible with kid seat "LATCH" anchor points? Since they are offset from the standard seat belt buckles which are accounted for in the covers, I wasn't sure if a kid seat would still buckle in? And yes, the two (kid + seat protection) are the goal here. Thanks in advance!

I have shot Equipt1 a note to customer service but while waiting for their reply, I thought I'd ask for some real-world feedback from MUD users as well.

Interested to hear how you do in seeking these. Normally, I'm not too concerned about my seats, but occasionally, I get into messy stuff that would ruin leather, and might be worth it--although it sounds like they take a long time to install/remove...?
From my experience, Marathon seat covers fit better and look cleaner/tigher, comparing the ones in my 100 and fj to the few escape gear i've had the chance to check out. Also the Marathon material is considerably more durable, USA made and many colors to choose. Made to order so a bit of a LT. I'm not at the point yet, where i need covers for the 200, but when it's time, I'll be buying another set of marathon. ymmv.

An interim update - equipt1 has answered my initial inquiry and could not confirm compatibility but have forwarded my questions onto the manufacture directly. Will reply back once I have any details.
