SILVER Star
There are people on this board that have had them for many years. Maybe worth checking with them how the seats are holding up under the covers? Escape gear themselves may have pictures of the results.The price isn't putting me off, but the indestructible material might be harsher on my seats than my jeans. Especially if it rubs back and forth every time I get in, just like my jeans. Something lighter might be more gentle on the seats, and something tighter won't rub on the seats. Seems like these strap down tight, while other brands just use stretchy panels around the seat bottom. But they are still floppy someone said? Hate to take these off in a year and see a seam has worn a line in the leather.
My black leather is already showing loss of color in places, not even high-wear places, after a year in Michigan. No heavy sun or heat, and I'm gentle on my seats. My 100 seats look great, but my late wife pampered that thing. 80 seats never looked bad either. I'm being deliberate about not letting these problems bother me, it is just a truck, but I'd like to keep it nice for as long as possible.
I get your logic but other elements are clearly better. UV protection, some friction but not jeans sliding a foot across the bolster edge, no sweat/oils from skin, etc.
