    Has anyone gone ahead and purchased the full set of Wet Okole covers? I placed my order but I'm still concerned about the fit and durability of the product...

    I have never purchased any but there pretty much the best and the most expensive. That is where the whole you get what you paid for adage applies. I know allot of people with them and they are nice, many people here use them on there open top Jeeps. They seem to last a while. My wife has some neoprene Wet Okole knockoffs in her Tacoma and after six years there still doing fine. Post some photos and let us know what you think of them when they arrive. Enjoy your wet behind seat covers. Did you get both the front and rear seats? I just googled Okole to check the pricing and the fourth hit down turned up this gem. It links to a classic Hawaiian song about Okole's great song, and a little Hawaiian humor. http://pacatrue.blogspot.com/2008/07/sweet-okole-and-hawaiian-humor.html Enjoy!

    I'm still kinda new to the digital age but I'll try and download pictures when they arrive. I ordered front and back in black with beige piping. Couldn't find a color that looked like it would match the beigey interior of the car. I figure if the piping is a bit off it won't matter as much. I'm not in Hawaii but Miami summers get pretty hot. How are the seats in summer? Do ya'll have a black knockoff cover yourself?:rockon:

    The wife has black and grey Wet Okole knockoff neoprene seat covers in her truck. The center is dark grey and the side bolster area is black. The Tacoma is a double cab and the rear windows are dark and the fronts and windshield are not that big, it does not get to hot inside. On a Prius they might be a bit warm if left in the sun there is allot of glass, but you will not burn your butt and stick like you would on hot vinyl. I tinted my windows and the car does not get extremely hot. Here are the covers she has. http://www.hawaiianseatcovers.com/
    The fit and finish of the Wet Okole's is superior to the Hawaiian Seat Covers.

    While I have a Gen II, I did go the Okale route. After two years the drivers seat is a little dirty, but overall I like them! Here is a pic...
