Anyone ever used wet okole or coverking? Pictures? What color code would be close to ivory in a 2005 LX?
 
I'll second the notion posted above. I had Wet Okoles on one of my trucks a number of years ago. I live in South Florida and they were so uncomfortable and hot. I like the heat in general but I will never put a set of them on anything I ever own. Even if they're free, it ain't happening.
 
IMO, wet okole and that neoprene are great for swamp crotch. Never fun...

Get something that isn't neoprene, and will consequently hold up better, fit and look better as well. Custom High Quality Truck and SUV Seat Covers | Marathon Seat Covers I have these and have had these. Ridiculous fit and finish and really bomb proof and easy on wallet.

Also, for the roller try: ESCAPE GEAR contact @Equipt
The marathon's look great but none of their colors seem close to the Ivory..
 
One of my 80's came with a set from here that was already 5-6 years old. Add 2 more years in my possession. They are tan and are holding up great. I'd have to guess that they are a bit faded by now but I have nothing to compare them to. I'll happily buy a set in tan for my 470 at some point.
 
Wet Okole covers fit and look great! The tan is lighter than factory, but does match the headliner material pretty well.

I notice my back gets a little warmer than with the factory leather, but I have not experienced the swamp ass/crotch that some folks have reported. Well, it is about the same as leather. My wife no longer complains about scorching hot leather burning her legs either, which is a huge win for me. I love that the seats are warmer in the winter. The seat heater still works on high but not quite as intense as the straight leather. The covers still have a slight neoprene smell nearly one year later.

I really wanted a cloth like seat cover that would fit tight against the seat and ordered fabric samples from several places. Wet Okole was the only one who seemed to check all of my boxes. I'd buy them again if no new covers have been released that fit this snug.
 
Wet Okole in mine as well, works like charm for me as well, I stay in NoVA region so don't see that florida/phx hot days to feel uncomfortable. so depending on your location it might work
 
Had Wet Okole's in a 4runner I thought they were great. Should I replace my leather seats with seat covers I will do it again.
 
I have had Wet Okoles for about 5 years in my 2000. They have been great. I have not experienced any of the swamp crotch thing.
 
I've got the Escape Gear covers and love them. Look great and are tough.
 
I hear Ruff Tuff seat covers are good. They have a variety of options.
 
I will say I didn’t get the cargo nets on my wet okoles and I totally regret it. I’m going to have to get something to strap over for trips.
 
@CBeckFJ Wet Okole covers in my 100. I like them, yes they can make your butt and back a little sweaty, but that's what windows and AC are for. If you get them get the pockets on the front. I think it's only $20 a seat and well worth it as you can put your cell phone or a small pistol in them.

Was installation difficult on the Ruff Stuff covers? Do yo have to take the seats out to install?

They slip on/off in minutes. Took me about 20-30 minutes to install them the first time without instructions (bought them used).
