Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Camo seat covers?

Need some camo seat covers for the WarWagon....88 Suburban.

Any good brands? Materials?

Neoprene? Fabric?

Thanks.

Cant help it but I always like Saddle blanket seat covers in older trucks.

Neoprene would likely make my ass sweat like standing around in a wetsuit before a dive.

I'd go with fabric myself, but that's just me, if I wanted camo.

personally, I saw about 350 seat covers unloaded at your place the other day. I love my sheepskin seat covers I do. Need to get some more, but damn Costco went with sheaper ones now than the good ones I got 17 years ago for the Matrix.

I'd probably go with fabric. I had neoprene in my Jeep. It was comfortable and fit good but it faded rapidly in the sun and started falling apart after a couple of years.

Jim:

We went with Marathon seat covers in our Ram 3500. Not the cheapest, but they seem to wear like iron. We've had them for 11 years and they still look great. I would mention that we don't have dogs or kids.

Stay away from neoprene unless you like a good case of the swamp ass

Why do you want to hide your seats?






Or, are you hiding kid tracks!

Had my Marathons for 3 years now.

I like them, and they still look new.

Have had Marathons in my 93 Dodge for close to 17 years, never parked in a garage.
They have faded some, I had to slit them for the headrest posts and those slits
have torn an inch or two from my fidgeting around.

Have never needed to reposition them, no real wear, just shiny from my ass
sliding in and out.


They are doing ok.
Will update when they have had time to get old.

Marathon

Bro in law has 8+ years on his Marathons. Last time I looked they looked near new.

Marathons are codura nylon, I don't know if that's the 'fabric' folks are speaking of. The cheap ones I picked up in Academy are polyester, when I asked the same question some guys here said they found them to be OK. I often bring dogs along and down here in this climate I'm often wet with sweat when I get into the truck. I don't want to get the cab funky before its time, so on those occasions I throw a couple of old cotton bedsheets over the seats so I sweat into them instead. Wash 'em with my laundry.

One such occasion yesterday morning..



I would think camo seat covers are de rigeur for Campfire crowd, camo wallets and binocs OTH are just nuts, less you want to lose them in the woods. I might invest in some camo bedsheets tho.

Have had several sets of them. I usually trade off my vehicles after 4 years. The marathons worked well.

Marathon always gets good recommendations, but I went with Headwaters Seat Covers because they're a Montana family-owned company. The owner used to work at Marathon. I'm quite happy with them.

How much do you want to spend?

Marathons will last for years. However, they say on their website that camo patterns will fade faster than solid colors. Solids have the color impregnated right into the fabric. Camos have to be printed after the fabric is made so the colors don't go all the way through. Mine are solids and spend a lot of time in the sun so they've faded some but they still look good after 6 or 7 years.

I have used PrecisionFit in my last 3 trucks. I use their endura fabric. It's water resistant, durable, and cleans up easily. They are pricey but have a great fit.They still looked good after 10 years in my 06 F 150.
