Valentine’s Day is all about love—but in the world of seat covers, we get a little bit of everything. From glowing reviews to, well... the occasional heartbreaker. We hear it all. So, for this special edition of The Inbox Series, we’re sharing what people really think about TigerTough seat covers.

Why People Love TigerTough Seat Covers

✅ Built for work, dirt, and everything in between.
✅ A fit so good, people think their seats are reupholstered.
✅ Your truck, tractor, or side-by-side isn’t cheap—protect it with a worthwhile investment.

Love them or hate them, TigerTough covers are made to last. Want to see why so many people swear by them?

People love their Wet Okole seat covers. There’s a loyal fanbase raving about these American-made, waterproof seat covers.

What's their claim? Seat covers that don't swelter in the summer or freeze in winter, waterproofed, and a fit that's tighter than a new pair of gloves.

They're a competitor we recognize. They're dedicated to enhancing vehicle interiors and protecting them from daily wear and tear. Wet Okole has a rabid following, and at TigerTough, we appreciate good competition.

But we need to take a quick pause to tell you that when we googled what Wet Okole means, we found out that in Hawaiian, it means wet butt. Nope, we didn’t make that up. 

Anyway, we ordered a set for a 2023 Ford F-150 to compare them with TigerTough seat covers.

Let’s do this.

Packaging

Now, we know this isn’t a factor people consider when ordering seat covers. But it’s still important to note since packaging can give you a glimpse of how a company treats their customers.

Wet Okole Packaging

Wet Okole covers arrived in the largest box we’ve ever received for a single set of seat covers. These covers are bulky on their own, so the box is understandable. It was branded well and came with information about the company and color instructions. 

TigerTough Packaging

TigerTough seat covers ship in a branded poly mailer with full-color instructions specific to your exact vehicle. So, if you ordered covers for a 2018 Toyota Tacoma, you’ll get instructions on installing TigerTough seat covers on a 2018 Toyota Tacoma.

Design and fit of the seat cover

Wet Okole Design and Fit

Wet Okole’s seat covers have nylon-covered neoprene laminated on a half-inch of foam. It’s a thick cover and looks great installed.

The covers come in multiple pieces (we love that!) for the best fit. And thankfully, Wet Okole labels which seat cover goes on the driver’s seat. (They don’t label the passenger seat cover.) Does this matter? Absolutely. You need to make sure you have the correct covers on so that the airbag can deploy in the event of a collision.

And bonus: the set we received also included a center console cover.

We like the way the Wet Okole looks. It’s very attractive. However, it’s stiff with that ½” foam backing. If you press on the seat back, you’ll notice gapping between the cover and the seat. This is because the foam isn’t pliable. And after a while, that foam breaks down, and the cover won't fit as nicely.

Wet Okole also does a lot of decorative stitching in the seat back. This looks nice, but it makes the fabric weaker.  

TigerTough Design and Fit

TigerTough seat covers come in three pieces and wrap the entire seat, much like Wet Okole, but they are installed differently, which we’ll get into later. 

Our covers are made from 1000-Denier CORDURA® and are proven to withstand intense abuse. There’s no foam backing on our covers, so it hugs the seat. We also don’t have any decorative stitching, except for embroidery, but because that’s in an area with minimal wear, it doesn’t weaken the seat cover like decorative stitching.

"We design for strength first and looks second."

Sheldon Zitzmann, TigerTough Marketing Director

Installation

Wet Okole Installation

It took us approximately 17 minutes to install a Wet Okole cover. We rated these as medium difficulty. The instructions were pretty poor, but because we know seat covers, we knew what to do.

However, we had issues getting one of the straps through. The instructions said that you’d need to possibly remove the plastic molding on your seat to get the strap through. We didn’t want to do that on our boss’ truck, so it took a little longer for us to install.

Here’s how their seat covers are attached:

• One strap running from side to side
• Two straps running underneath from front to back
• One loop around the seatbelt plug

TigerTough Installation

TigerTough took us 9 minutes to install on a seat. Yeah, we know our seat covers, so this probably took us a little faster than most people.

We try to be as specific with our instructions as possible and offer installation videos for every vehicle. 

Here’s how TigerTough seat covers are attached:

• The seat bottom runs all the way along the underside of the seat, attaching to itself with heavy-duty hook & loop.
• We have our Stringlock that runs around the perimeter of the seat bottom and cinches it like a drawstring around and underneath the seat to ensure it doesn’t shift.

Check out our full installation expectations to learn more.

Headrest

Both seat covers have headrest covers, so that’s a win! They also both tuck into the headrest mounts nicely. There’s not much more to say about that other than if you’re covering your seat, you need to cover the headrest. 

Seat back

Both brands have a custom look for the seat back. They also both have options for custom embroidery and seat back pockets.

Wet Okole Seat Back

We’ve touched on this earlier, but the back of the Wet Okole seat covers have decorative stitching, which looks very attractive but isn’t great for durability. You'll also see the gapping here when you press on the seat cover.

TigerTough Seat Back

Our seat covers fit snuggly to the back without any gapping or unnecessary seems.

Seat Crease and Bottom

Since both seat covers are made from multiple pieces, they have clean-looking creases that fit the seats well.

They also both tuck into the plastic trim of the seat allowing access to the seat controls. We like the way TigerTough’s fit more snuggly on the bottom half, but if we removed the plastic trim to install the Wet Okole covers as they suggested, we might like that fit more than we do as is.

Airbag safety

Quick history lesson: most cars made after 2014 will have side airbags due to federal regulation, many deploying from the seat. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that between 1996 and 2012, 2,252 lives were saved by side and curtain airbags–before regulations were even put into place. At that time, only 42% of vehicles on the road were equipped with side airbags. That percentage is much higher now.

We know you take safety seriously, whether it’s in your personal vehicle or if you’re managing a fleet. 

Wet Okole Airbag Compatibility

We don’t love the way Wet Okole does airbag compatibility with their covers. They have a slit on the side of their seats for the airbag to deploy. But, the slit isn’t as long as the tearaway seam on the factory seat, so we have concerns that an airbag could get stuck during deployment. However, Wet Okole says their seat covers are tested, so we’ll take their word for it.

TigerTough Airbag Compatibility 

Our seat covers have a visible tearaway seam that goes the entire seat length. Our covers have been independently tested to ensure that an airbag will deploy in the event of a collision. We hope you never have to find out, but rest assured that our seat covers are deemed safe with airbags.

Waterproofness 

Not all waterproofness (that’s a real word) works the same. This one is best shown in the video, but we’ll break it down here too.

Are Wet Okole seat covers waterproof?

Yes, they are, but they also soak up the water like a little sponge. The seat underneath stays dry. However, if you spill something, your cover will remain wet for a while. You’ll want to blot the seat cover and keep the windows open if you can so that they’ll dry out.

Otherwise, Wet Okole will live up to their name and leave you with a wet butt.

Are TigerTough seats waterproof?

They are, and they’re also hydrophobic. Does that mean they’re scared of water? Pretty much. They can’t even absorb liquid. 

In the video, you’ll see that the water poured on the TigerTough seat cover beads up and rolls off. So yeah, your floor may get wet if you spill on your seats, but you can wipe up your seat cover and sit about it without worrying about wet pants. Do you want the portion of the video where we do that? Maybe as a gif?

Warranty and Returns

Wet Okole Warranty and Returns

This is one of our biggest disappointments with this brand. They have a 90-day limited warranty, and it only covers manufacturer defects. In terms of returns, they don’t accept returns if you aren’t happy with your purchase. So you get what you get. 

TigerTough Warranty and Returns

Our vehicle seat covers have a two-year, unconditional warranty. If something happens to your TigerTough seat covers, we’ll replace or repair them. It doesn’t matter how they got damaged; we’ll happily make it right.

If, for some reason, you don’t like your TigerTough seat covers, we’ll accept returns within 30 days of you receiving them. You just need to be sure they’re in like-new condition still.

Price

Seat covers can range from $50 to hundreds of dollars. For comparison, we used a 2023 Ford F-150 covers. 

How much does Wet Okole cost?

We ordered a set of their standard bucket seats. Without the console cover, they cost $392. This is a fair price for seat covers since they can get pretty expensive if you pay for something custom.

How much does TigerTough cost?

To cover your two front seats with TigerTough, it will cost around $317.

Overview

We like Wet Okole. Not enough to quit our jobs and go work for them, but they have a decent seat cover. But if we were sitting down with you over a beer, we’d probably say that we expected more from Wet Okole based on their cult following, but we don’t doubt that the covers will protect your seats for years.

It all comes down to preference in the end. Both covers are made in America and have great reviews.

If you want fun colors and that beach vibe, Wet Okole would be a great option. We still don’t love their warranty or return policy, though.

If you want something rugged and meant to withstand hard use, like construction equipment or excited farm dogs, we’d encourage you to try TigerTough. After all, if you don’t like our seat covers, you can return them.

Maybe after reading this comparison, neither of these brands appeal to you. Then you should definitely check out the best seat covers for work trucks and find something that meets your needs.

At TigerTough, we love hearing from our customers—whether it’s glowing praise or the occasional critique. Here’s a peek into the latest round of love letters (and a little hate mail) we’ve received.

"Best Seat Covers Ever!" – Thanks, Mark!

Mark didn’t hold back, calling TigerTough the "best seat covers ever." And you know what, Mark? You’re the best darn Mark ever. Thanks for the love!

"Made in China"? Not Quite, Neil

Neil wasn’t too happy, assuming our covers take three weeks to ship because they’re made in China. Here’s the thing, Neil—our covers are proudly made in Vesta, Minnesota, by hardworking American hands.

We even invited Neil to swing by our factory for a tour to see it all in action. (Neil, if you’re reading this, the invitation’s still open!)

Five Stars and Stellar Customer Service—Thanks, Jamie!

Jamie left us a five-star review for more than just the seat covers. They praised our quick, professional, and kind customer service for helping them fix an ordering mistake.

Jamie even said, "I almost wish these covers weren’t so great so I could order them again!" Well, Jamie, we’d love for you to order another set anyway—customers like you make this whole job worth it.

We’re Listening

Love it or hate it, we appreciate hearing from you. Whether you’re thrilled with your seat covers or have a bone to pick, we’re here to listen, improve, and make products that work as hard as you do.

Want to see what all the fuss is about? Check out TigerTough seat covers and let us know what you think—we might just feature you in the next Inbox Series.

When it comes to protecting heavy equipment seats, not all covers are created equal. Birklid Construction Services recently shared their experience with TigerTough seat covers on their 2018 Takeuchi excavator. Here’s what they had to say—and why these covers are a must-have for hardworking machines like theirs.

A Custom Fit That Won’t Quit

“The bottom’s nice and tight, good snug fit, well measured all the way around.”

Birklid Construction needed seat covers that wouldn’t budge, no matter how tough the job. Our covers are hand-measured for every make and model, making a fit so snug it looks like it came straight from the factory. No slipping, sagging, or sliding—just seat protection that stays put.

Top-Notch Customization

“This one is customized with our logo. Fantastic job with the embroidery as well—good colors, nice clear embroidery.”

Birklid Construction added a professional touch with custom embroidery. Whether you want to showcase your logo or add a personalized element, TigerTough makes sure your seat covers don’t just perform—they look great doing it.

Built Tough for Hard Work

“We had a couple of rips starting in this excavator seat… this has been great. Used a few times, wipes up real nice.”

Construction work is messy and demanding, but TigerTough covers are built to handle it. Made from ultra-durable Cordura fabric, these covers stop wear and tear in its tracks. Whether it’s grease, mud, or grime, they protect your seats and wipe clean in a snap, keeping equipment ready for the next day’s grind.

Smart Design Features That Work

• Secure Attachment: “Super tough [hook and loop] that just will not come undone unless you make sure it comes undone.”

• Full-Size Seat Pocket: “Store your manuals back there—whatever you need.”

• StringLock Technology: “Their plastic deal holds the strings nice and tight.”

Why Birklid Construction Swears By TigerTough

“I don’t think you can go wrong with these TigerTough covers. They’re just fantastic.”

Protecting equipment seats isn’t just about appearances—it’s about preserving value. Birklid Construction trusts TigerTough to keep their excavator seats in top condition, proving these covers are up for any challenge.

There are hundreds of different seat cover brands on the market. We wouldn't say that we're better than all of them, but we have features that give our seat covers a leg up, especially for our blue-collar friends.

Here are ways that we try to make the best seat covers on the planet:

1. Elastic is never used to secure a seat

Why not? It wears out over time.

Elastic isn't meant to be stretched for long durations. It's fine for sweatpants, but you're not stretching your waistband to its max the entire time you wear them—we hope.

When extreme heat and cold are added to the mix (think about how hot your truck gets in July), the elastic degrades faster.

And dead elastic will leave a seat cover fitting like a sloppy suit. 

Instead, we use fabric and hook-and-loop (e.g., Velcro) to lock our seat covers in place. TigerTough seat covers remain secure until you want to remove them.

We do, on occasion, use elastic on the corners under the seats to easily get them on/off, but that elastic won't be constantly maxed out or neccessary to secure a seat cover.

Only fabric and hook and loop secure the seat cover.

2. CORDURA® is what we trust

This isn't just any fabric, it's a fabric that's designed to surpass military specifications for toughness. You know those JanSport and Eastpak backpacks your mom bought you in the 90s because "they've got a lifetime warranty!"? Those brands use CORDURA® for their backpacks because they can withstand the hell that kids throw at them.

Our CORDURA® is treated to be hydrophobic, meaning that it will repel liquids. It's freaking tougher than tough and outlives our torture tests. But it's also washable, making it a unicorn of versatility.

3. Stringlock secures seat covers

One of our great pride and joys at TigerTough is our patented Stringlock feature. 

A hidden string runs around the edge of the seat bottom cover to secure it.

We use a string to cinch the bottom of our seat covers to fit snuggly on a seat bottom. To secure that string, we use Stringlock. You won't find this on any other seat cover brand because we (with the help of engineers who are smarter than us) invented it.

Stringlock securing a seat cover in place.

4. Each cover is made up of multiple pieces

Most TigerTough seat covers come in three pieces: a seat back, a seat bottom, and a headrest cover. 

If you try to cover a seat with a one-piece cover, it ends up not fitting well. There's no good way to secure the seat cover in the seat creases. This is how Carhartt does some of their seat covers, and it results in a seat cover that shifts every time you scoot into the vehicle.

5. ShieldTech is antimicrobial

No, not all of our seat covers are antimicrobial, but ShieldTech is! It also reduces odor, making it a great option for fleets where multiple people share a vehicle. Some of the biggest ShieldTech users are first responders.

It's still CORDURA®, but it uses silver and copper ions in a zeolite carrier to starve, sterilize, and suffocate microbes. That's a lot of nerdy science talk, but it just means that the fabric will kill bacteria so that your cab stays fresh-ish.

6. We measure by hand

Part of us wishes we would use manufacturer specs to create seat covers because that'd be a heck of a lot easier than our process, but leaning on specs just doesn't work.

We bring every OEM seat into our facility and measure it by hand. Our amazing research and development team measures and cuts fabric and hand-sews a seat cover prototype every time we cover a new seat.

Measuring for a prototype seat cover.

So whenever a manufacturer introduces a new body style, we borrow a seat from a dealer and bring it in for a couple of weeks to create a cover. Once we have the prototype created, we upload it to our system so we can replicate it.

Seat cover getting measured to be put in our system.

It's an involved process, but we find that it makes for the absolute best fit. That's true American craftsmanship right there.

7. Our seat covers fully wrap a seat

Some seat cover brands use straps that run behind and under the seat to secure it. And some brands use a different (read: cheaper) fabric on the back of the seat cover.

We don't. 

We wrap the entire seat with the same fabric. This is for durability and fit, and it looks best, too.

The entire seat is wrapped with a seat cover.

8. They're airbag-safe

This one we don't take lightly. When we were reviewing the top seat covers for trucks, we found that a very popular seat cover brand wasn't considered airbag-safe. In their installation instructions, they say not to install their seat covers in vehicles with side airbags. Which is like...all vehicles. 

Our seat covers are independently tested by the third-party lab to make sure that your airbags will deploy in the event of a collision.

TigerTough seat covers are tested to be airbag-compatible.

We hope you never need this feature, but it's there if you do. We wouldn't put our label on something that wasn't considered safe.

9. We don't use foam

Foam-backed seat covers sound nice. Getting into a nice, cushy seat at the end of the day after busting your butt is a treat. 

But foam, like elastic, breaks down over time, and that process accelerates in extreme temperatures. When the foam on the back of a seat cover deteriorates, it leaves the seat cover floppy on your seat. It's like your favorite pair of Levis after you've lost a few pounds—it just doesn't fit the same.

10. Double-stitched durability

Our seams are double-stitched, so they’ll never bust. And if they do (which we doubt), you’re covered by our unconditional warranty.

Here’s how we do it: we take two pieces of tough-as-nails Cordura fabric, stitch them together, fold the seam, and stitch it again. This process makes the seams tougher than a two-dollar steak at a roadside diner.

You can trust these seams to help keep your seat covers in place no matter how rough the ride gets.

11. The warranty is unconditional

We trust our seat covers. We spend our free time torturing them with coffee and grease and by setting them on fire. They're tougher than nails, so we give them a warranty to back up our claims.

If your seat covers wear out for any reason, we'll repair or replace them for free. But we don't think that will be an issue because we've seen them used for eight years on a work truck without fail.

12. Made in the U.S.

We'll always be proud to say that our seat covers are made in America, by Americans, for Americans.

Inside our Minnesota manufacturing facility.

Heck, even our fabric is made in America. Not all seat cover brands can say that, but we'll scream it from the top of Mount Rushmore. And if you ever find yourself in Vesta, Minnesota, we invite you to tour our factory and see how our seat covers are made.

So, are we the best?

We can't say that we're the best seat cover company for you—only you can determine that. But we will say we're proud of our work and the industries we serve. There's no other seat cover company we'd work for or brand we'd put in our vehicles. 

Every day we come to work excited about what we're doing. And we'll never give up on making the best seat cover we can. We don't settle for mediocrity and don't think you should either.

Over at Ruff Tuff, they take pride in their work just like we do at TigerTough. They're family-owned and have been in the custom seat cover game since 1976, crafting their products right here in the USA. They stand by creating high-quality seat covers with precise patterns and durable fabrics, ensuring each cover fits snugly and lasts long.

They’ve got a variety of different seat cover lines, but we ordered a set of their Dura EZ-Care covers for 2023 Ford F-150 to compare them with TigerTough seat covers.

Let’s see how they do.

The Delivery

Ruff Tuff Packaging

These arrived in a branded big ole brown box. Inside, we found the seat covers protected with plastic, something that looked like a plastic tongue depressor, and super detailed instructions. There are lots of words on those instructions and not many photos, but we’re okay with reading. 

A really cool thing they do is put a QR code on the seat cover tag so that you can easily get to the installation instructions and videos.

TigerTough Packaging

When your TigerTough seat covers arrive, they come in a branded poly mailer. We don’t get fancy with boxes when shipping is cheaper and easier with polymailers. You’ll also get a set of full-color instructions tailored to your vehicle's make and model. Say you've got a 2019 Nissan Frontier, you'll receive a set of guidelines crafted precisely for fitting TigerTough covers to your Frontier's seats for a smooth installation process.

Design and material of the seat cover

Ruff Tuff Design and Material

We contacted Ruff Tuff’s customer service, and they say their Dura EZ-Care material is made of “a 600 Denier polyester blend canvas material.” It’s a sturdy fabric and feels really durable. The site says they’re water-resistant and great for kids and pets. There’s a foam backing on the portions you’d come in contact with, like the seat back and bottom.

They have decorative stitching along the back, which looks nice, but it’s something we don’t suggest because it makes the seat cover weaker. If you’re going for looks over durability, then have at it!

TigerTough Design and Material

We craft each cover in three separate parts for a complete fit, similar to Ruff Tuff's method, yet we stay true to using 1000-Denier CORDURA throughout for unmatched durability.

The fabric of our seat covers is rigorously tested to handle the harshest conditions. We avoid any fancy stitching that might compromise durability, opting only for embroidery in low-wear zones, which won’t affect the cover's integrity.

Installation

Ruff Tuff Installation

We spent about 10 minutes installing the Ruff Tuff seat cover. And the tongue depressor stick it came with was really handy! In fact, we’ll keep it around to install future covers and save some fingers in the process. That’s a genius addition to the shipping box.

Here’s how their seat covers are attached:

• The seat back fits snuggly and velcros to the seat itself
• The seat bottom has straps that run under the front and back that fasten under the seat
• There’s also a string that runs from side to side that you tie underneath the seat

TigerTough Installation

Getting TigerTough seat covers on your seats can be a pain. It takes us about 9 minutes for a complete installation, and we’ve been doing this for a while. Though we've got the process down, even those new to our covers should find it a straightforward task with just a tad more time.

We offer in-depth guides and installation videos customized for each vehicle model.  

Here's how TigerTough seat covers fit into place:

• The cover for the seat bottom extends under the entire seat, firmly securing itself with robust hook & loop fasteners (that’s the generic term for Velcro).
• Our unique StringLock system encircles the base of the seat bottom, pulling everything snugly together under the seat just like a drawstring, making sure the cover stays put without any slip or slide.

Check out our full installation expectations to learn more.

Headrest

Ruff Tuff doesn’t include headrest covers as a standard feature. We didn’t realize this when ordering–whoops, so we can’t review this portion of the seat cover. But we will say that we believe headrest covers should be standard. If your vehicle’s interior needs seat covers, it’s in need of headrest covers, too.

Headrest covers are an additional $68 in the Ruff Tuff Dura EZ-Care option.

Seatback

Ruff Tuff Seatback

The seatback cover fits really well, with detailed stitching and foam backing. We typically don’t recommend foam in a seat cover because it degrades over time and can leave the cover baggy. It won't affect function, but it will affect fit.

PSA about foam: Just like the cushioning in your work boots, foam starts out supportive and snug, but over time, it compresses and loses its oomph. When that happens, those boots don't fit the same, and you don't get the same support. It's the same deal with foam in seat covers.

Ruff Tuff has seatback pocket options available, which we love.

TigerTough Seatback

Our seat covers hug the back of your seats tightly for a glove-like fit. For customization, you can add a seatback pocket and embroidery. 

Seat crease and bottom

Since both seat covers are made from multiple pieces, they both have clean-looking creases that fit the seats well.

They also tuck into the seat bottom's plastic trim, allowing access to the seat controls. You might think this is a standard in seat covers, but we’ve met some that cover up your controls.

Airbag safety

Since 2014, vehicles have required side airbags, thanks to federal regulations. These lifesavers are often tucked right into your seat. And they've been pulling their weight for a long while, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tallying up over 2,000 lives saved by side airbags from '96 to '12. Back then, less than half the vehicles on the road had 'em, but now? They're pretty much everywhere.

Any seat cover company worth its salt knows how crucial safety is, whether it's just your own work truck or a whole fleet you're running.

Ruff Tuff Airbag Compatibility

Ruff Tuff’s approach to airbag safety is interesting. The version we received has the entire side seam come apart with velcro. So, in the event of a collision, the airbag will deploy and break through the velcro-secured side. They have another version with simply a cutout for the airbag to deploy. The version you get is based on your vehicle.

TigerTough Airbag Compatibility 

Every TigerTough cover's got a tearaway seam right down the side—so if your airbags need to bust out, they can do their job with no problem. Independent labs have tested our covers to ensure they’ll do what they need to do in a collision. Here's to hoping you'll never need it, but you're good to go if you do.

Warranty and Returns

Ruff Tuff Warranty and Returns

Ruff Tuff offers a limited one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects under normal use. Pretty standard, but not impressive.

Unfortunately, their covers aren’t returnable (except for their Flex OPS line). So make sure you really want these covers before you confirm the order. Because once you get them, they’re yours for life. 

TigerTough Warranty and Returns

Our vehicle seat covers have a two-year, unconditional warranty. And we mean that. If they somehow get damaged in whatever it is that you do in your vehicle, we’ll replace or repair them. We stand by our covers. 

If you don’t like your TigerTough seat covers, we’ll accept returns within 30 days of you receiving them. You just need to be sure they’re in like-new condition.

Price

This is why you’re ultimately reading this, right? Seat covers can have a crazy range in prices. So, for comparison, we used a 2023 Ford F-150 for spec. 

How much does Ruff Tuff cost?

We ordered a set of their Dura EZ-Care seat covers for $367. But don’t forget–we didn’t get headrest covers with our order, so we’d have to spend another $68 on those. 

For full-coverage with Ruff Tuff, you’re looking at about $435. We also had to pay $25 for shipping. We won’t add that to the total price of these seat covers, but that’s something to consider.

Update: As of 5/19/2025, the same seat covers will cost $383 plus $72 for headrest covers for a total of $455.

How much does TigerTough cost?

To fully cover your two front seats with TigerTough, it will cost around $317. We give you free shipping on any $100+ order within the 48 contiguous states.

Overview

It all comes down to what you want and what your budget allows. For what it’s worth, we think you’ll get everything you need from TigerTough at a pretty good savings compared to Ruff Tuff. We’d say that even if ToughTough wasn’t signing our paychecks.

Ruff Tuff is a great option that will work hard for you. We wish they came with headrest covers, and maybe had a better way to fasten the string underneath the seats. But they’ll absolutely get the job done.

If you want something rugged and meant to withstand hard use, like construction environments or excited farm dogs, we’d encourage you to try TigerTough. Because hey, if you order them and hate ‘em, they’re returnable. And bonus: You can’t destroy them (and even if you manage to, we’ll replace them in the first two years).

Maybe after reading this comparison, neither of these brands really work for you. That’s cool, but you should definitely check out the best seat covers for work trucks and find something that meets your needs.

*Price based on purchasing with headrest covers. 

When it comes to protecting your truck’s interior, you've got a lot of options. We recently heard from a customer, Schares Landscaping, who’s been putting their TigerTough seat covers through the wringer—and let’s just say, they’re impressed.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Here’s a post I had a long time coming. I’ve actually had these for a couple of months now and really like them. I had some seat wear right there, and these covers slipped on real easy. They’re order-specific to your truck. Don’t judge my floor mats, but if those floor mats are a testament to the seat covers, I’d say they’re worth every penny. Oh, and if you’re curious if the seat warmers still work with seat covers, they absolutely do—nice and toasty when you’re plowing snow. Check them out!”

What Makes These Seat Covers a Winner?
