Recommendation for seat covers (or wtb)

I'm looking for either recommendations for seat covers for my 97 SW or to purchase a set from a member.
I picked up some generic neoprene one from Costco but ended up returning them. There was no grip between the covers and the seat vinyl so I felt like I was sliding around. They were returned.

Main reason for covers is to elevate sweaty back from the vinyl over the summer.

Knightsbridge are $295, which people seam to love, but I'd like to stay under $200 if possible. Do they breath?

I have the KEXBY seat covers with the Molle back. I bought them before KEXBY was acquired. The KEXBY covers are very nice and fit very well.

I actually bought the KEXBY covers as a stop gap before getting Badger Covers. No one seems to have a bad thing to say about Badger, for good reason. Chris' products are superb in every detail and they are worth the wait. Order a set from Badger now and it will be like Christmas when they arrive. He may already have seat covers in stock...

Thanks Rocky. Pm sent.

Chuckc4 do the Kexby (now Knightsbridge) and Badgers stay put and offer some benefit comfort wise over vinyl?

The Kexby seat covers I have are tight fitting and do not move -- you wouldn't know they were seat covers if you didn't know...

The Kexby's are more comfortable than the original vinyl in hot weather in my opinion, because the fabric is not a smooth as the original vinyl.

I cannot comment on the comfort of the Badger seat covers long term as I have only sat in seats with them for a short period, but they are nice!

Sheepskins are best for comfort. Makes for a tighter fit when taking out/putting back seat squab tho.

My order from Knightsbridge Overland is just about complete and close to shipping this week/early next week. I went with tactical in the front plus covers for the jump seats. There's a 10% coupon code somewhere in here.

I cannot recommend Knightsbridge Overland. Mine fit like complete crap. They're loosey-goosey despite many attempts to snug them up. The installation instructions said that they'd tighten up with time. It's been several years and they are bad as ever. Go look at photos of these covers on IG. You'll see more wrinkles than a Fort Lauderdale retirement home.
