Default Wet Okole Seat Covers?

Has anyone here used the Wet Okole Seat Covers?

How were they? How did they do versus leather?

THanks

PICS?

Mine are wet suit material, but not them. It's nice to set a gallon of milk on the seat and not worry about the container sweating. Not hot in the summer with shorts.

The Wet Okole covers are top notch. In FL they are much nicer than than the leather. They also prevent the leather from drying out.

I highly recommend them.

Bought a set for my 00 vert DD. They fit very well. They take the abuse that the seats should'nt.
They make the black seats bearable during the summer heat. For the price they are very worth it!
I had mine for three years, then had Al Knoch build a set of specials for me. Had them put on at Bloomington Gold.
I was amaized that after three years with the covers on I was able to sell the old seat skins on the Forum for 40% of what I paid Al Knoch for the replacements!
If you can't afford Al Knoch's best, go for the Wet Okole's!

Every so often I peak underneath the covers just to check out my "like-new" tan leather seats. I haven't seen them in about 5 years but the glimpses that I do take make me a believer in the Okole's!!
