Barricade seat cover review

My seat covers arrived today from Extreme Terrain. As promised to XTRyan here is a review on these seat covers

First off they seem to be well made and have quality stitching in the seams. The front part seems very durable and appears that it will hold up to dirt, stains, and fading. The back is a light weight material that's seems like it could be susceptible to snagging. This material is also the same that covers the headrest.

Pros: Quality product that seems it will hold up to wear and tear from normal use. The fit is very good. There are cut outs for seat adjusters and seat belts which help the fit of these covers. Material on front seems very durable.

Cons: Not waterproof. The material that covers the seat on the back seems it will snag easily, and the material on the front of the seats seems that it will get very hot on warm summer days. Does not have a rear map pocket. Only comes in two colors, all black or all grey. Fit of headrest is a little loose but not a big deal.

Going off first impressions I would recommend these seat covers for someone looking for an affordable, durable, quality fit cover in which being waterproof is not a total priority.

Not liking the "Barricade" emblem being so big and contrasting in color. How much were these?

They look good! Thanks for the review. If they continue to be well received we're going to work with Barricade to additional colors made. Enjoy them!

Get them to make an olive drab green color to match my Jeep. Are they made of the ballistic type nylon other manufacturers use? I have some Dodge branded ones in my Power Wagon and love them. I would love to have a similar set for the Jeep in the olive drap green color; fronts and back.

On a side note. The part of the covers that goes on the bottom of the seats are side specific (passenger/driver) found this out the hard way haha. Had to remove and reinstall on the correct side. The backs are both the same. Took less the 20 mins to install both seats, including swapping the bottom portion.

Their 3 year warranty is against what? It just says "defects". Curious about whether or not that covers fade. I bought Smitty's because they were cheap- but they faded in less than a year. $295 isn't cheap when they wind up in the garbage. I plan to go Trek Armor because they have a 3 year no-fade warranty and I know a ton of people that are happy with them. If Barricade offers a 3 year warranty against fade it might sway me.
I'd say waterproof is pretty important- not because of water per se- but because it repels other things. I don't know- like a full cup of coffee with a bad lid...Though Barricade may refrain from using that word for legal reasons. "Water resistant" works too.
303 Aerospace makes a fabric protectant- you may want to try that.
