Anyone have experience with seat covers and care to post some pics?
I have a Middle East rig, imported to Europe. Middle East rigs don't come with seat heaters, oddly enough. ;)

So the leather is cold in the winter, and it's not in great condition anyway and I prefer to not let it deteriorate further.

I am not digging the Wet Okoles because they are neoprene. I am a surfer, I am familiar with neoprene....
I just don't dig it for sitting on.

Also, sheepskin or canvas have the advantage of letting the leather of my seats breathe.

Ideally I would like sheepskin like many of the Aussies have, it is apparently VERY comfortable, but I can't test or see it anywhere as sheepskin is virtually unheard of here in the EU.

I really like the Tuff Ducks from Spector/SOR too, but not cheap, and it's kind of hard to go on by just a (small) picture.

I prefer a full cover, so front and back that I can fix into place well. Many of the cheaper covers are nothing more than a loose "slip cover" with cheap looking clips and (visible) elastics to hold it into place.

Any thoughts from the community here?

EDIT to ADD: None of the non-US LC100's seem to have armrests like you all have. Just an FYI and changes some of the options for covers.

Cost is not really an issue, but I hate it when I pay top dollar and am not satisfied with something. It may not even be due to quality concerns, just that I made the wrong choice.

Just to demonstrate my insanity: the Escapes I have looked at before, but the "frumpy" look on the headrest covers somehow annoy me. I realise that this is not necessarily rational. Same goes for the cutout of the seat adjust controls.

The material looks great though. But the Spector/SOR ones also look very good. And tight fitting.
Anyone actually use them and have pics or feedback?
 
Interested as well. I have considered shearling seat overs too, but would think they lose their loft (fluff) over time and become matted, detracting from some of their comfort and overall appeal.
Apparently this does not happen. Looking for feedback from owners/users, but a couple of million Australians can't be wrong.

Most interested in the counter intuitiveness of shearling being cool in summertime.
 
I had sheepskin covered in my early bronco and really loved them. They did get matted down when they were super filthy but after a vacuum and spray down they were back to looking new.

I have wanted a set for my 100 since I bought it, but oddly not many folks here have them... Even with the cracked out leather.
