    (Cheaper) Alternative to Wet Okole?

    $50 on eBay right now. I'm sure it's not the same quality as Wet Okole (notice nowhere does it mention neoprene) but if you're just looking for UV protection maybe it's worth it? Food for thought...

    I ran their compatibility check, says no go on the VX. As for comparing to wet okole, not a chance, the wet okoles are made for the seat, as in custom made, just like the leather that is on it right now. Nothing short of coverking will be like the Okoles, but they too are a couple hundred bucks.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    If they're not custom made to begin with how can they not be compatible? And yeah I know they're not the same, I have sat on yours you know.

    Chris I'm beginning to wonder if you work for wet okoles on the side....
    Dave & I had the wet okoles on our D90 for 5 years, absolutely great seat covers, expensive, but terrific. The D90 had fabric seats, so the Okoles worked out great. But I prefer my leather Recaros just as is.
