Wet Oakleys (nobody can spell it) look good and fit great, but mine pretty much wore out after 3 years. Plus they stain pretty easy.

Mine didn't wear out so much as they faded out. Lost most of their color. Yes it is garaged. Also I have always had a problem with cleaning stains. That aside, they look great and fit perfect.

I've had mine on for almost 7 years and they are nowhere close to worn out. They fit great and look awesome. I highly recommend them.

I have a set of Okoles that I have had for about five years. They have held up good and look great. Mine fit tight. Although, I had my seats recovered with nice leather a few years back, and I hate hiding the nice two tone leather seats that Al Knoch's folks did for me.

There is a slit at the seam between the back and head rest. Their customer service was not the greatest in the world.

Everything I've seen suggests neoprene, a lot of them look really sharp and it seems to wear well. I want a set but they'll probably have to wait until after this fall's tuition is paid.
