glad you found something that’ll work for you.I went through this a few weeks ago, so I'll share some thoughts.
Neoprene is chepaer, but, in my experience, retains heat. That's why dive suits and hunting waders are made of it. Being that I live at the beach, that was a no-go for me. Had to be breathable
Bestop makes some seat covers, but they were a little pricey for the lack of reviews or even recommendations they had. Basic colors, but since they make the soft tops, I assume the color would be a spot-on match for that tan top I have. Thought really hard about these, but ultimately, with no recommendations and few reviews, wasn't willing to shell out that money.
Looked at PRP, but didn't want vinyl. Couldn't get any response from emails about other fabrics, so moved on.
I ended up purchasing a set of used Bartacs off FB. Another Jeep owner had them but they didn't match the floor she had put in. Thus far, I've been pretty happy for the $200 I spent. Look good, provide 98% coverage, nice feel to them. Really like the zippered pocket on the front seats as that's my new spot for key and wallet. That said, they are hard as all get out to put on, which is understandable given they are custom fit, but it seems like all the seats could have been a little bigger (1/4 inch or so), making them still hug the curves, while being simpler to get on. Also, I found that the fit on the backseats isn't quite as good as the front in that the pieces don't quite velcro together - they get close, but not quite there. I guess Jeep could have made some slight changes in the seats year-to-year, but if not, I wouldn't say the back seats are custom because they don't wrap completely.
i wanted leather as i love the durability and have that in my van as i can easily wipe up after kids but, for me, leather would have been too hot on the back of my thighs with the top down.
