New seat covers - Kryptek Typhon

There was a thread several months ago about seat covers, and I promised when I had my installed I would post pics. Finally got it done this week so here they are. Bought them from www.headwatersseatcovers.com.

 

Looks good!

 

Those are nice how much and how hard to install? Do they fit well? I have been looking at these from coverking for months just waiting for a decent image on our trucks! Looks badass man!

 

Easier than the ones I bought from Marathon for my first Tacoma. The only glitch I had - and this should be highly unusual - is that I ordered these for my 2013 Tacoma with cloth seats and then traded for a 2014 Tacoma with (p)leather. The covers are designed for cloth since the Velcro needs something to stick to underneath. Of course, who puts covers on leather? Lol. I would have anyway since I did it for looks rather than protection.

On another note, Paul at Headwaters is great to work with. It's nice to have the personal touch and he has custom features that you can add for little cost. You're not going to get that from anyone else, particular Coverking.

 

I had these, Removed them within 5 min of having them on. Were to tight. I could see the seams stretching. returned them and got Wet okoles instead. Best decision ever

 

Camo?

 

What is Wet okoles? Is Okoles a brand of seat cover?

 

Yes, and they are definitely called Wet Okoles. It's Hawaiian for wet butt, they are made out of wet suit neoprene.

But I think I'm going with OP's choice, I always liked the Kryptek pattern and my driver's seat cover is taking a beating from getting in and out after almost 10 years.

 

You may want to note that neoprene is very different than Cordura fabric. Neoprene is stretchy, but I greatly prefer the toughness of Cordura and and its feel. Definitely something you should research before making a purchase.

 

Never understood why? What is it with Camo????

 

Yea I agree. Enough cammo already. Your not Larry the Cable guy

 

He likes it.

 

It's a lifestyle bro, either you hate it or love it.

 

I spy a C4 corvette in the garage, is that yours?

 

You might be a redneck...

 

Sound's like an awesome ride! I am a pretty big NCRS guy and have a `71 Coupe 350. I'll hope on over and browse the C4 section!

 

IMHO-These Kryptek covers are great. I have the same ones and they do fit tight. Ballistic Cordura Nylon is not wetsuit fabric. Wet Okoles are all fine and dandy. But comparing the two is like apples to oranges and hot and cold. No comparison. I for one wouldn't like a set of Okoles. The Cordura will outlast the wetsuit fabric and won't hold all those skin smells and farts like the wetsuit fabric will. How we outfit our trucks is a personal thing as are all our gadgets and doodads. It's not redneck. Seeing he's in the Navy and at Virgina Beach it just fits. OP-Trucks looks great as do the covers. Great choice.

 

Nice! I originally wanted to restore a C3 but ended up with the C4. Search on my name at Corvette Action Center and you'll see a thread on my car. It's a 96 CE.

 

Rather have camo covers than leather. Digital camo looks incredible imo. I like camo covers because they speak to the owners personality. In my case: I hunt, I own numerous firearms, and if a camo seat can in any way piss off a passing liberal or two then it was money well spent.
