Does anyone use seat protectors like these? :

Going to a pretty muddy off-road event soon, don't want to clean the seats afterwards.

NOTE: I do NOT want to buy seat covers that take 1-2 hours to put on and remove and I don't care about the looks.

I think you probably found what you're looking for especially if you're going to occasionally remove them.

I use Cabel's universal seat covers, multiple storage pockets on the back, very inexpensive $19. Light mud cleans off really easy, most of the wrinkles will smooth out, these are fresh out of the box. I know these aren't for everyone, but I like them, I just want something to protect the fabric seats. I would not want to remove & re-install them on a regular basis.

The material looks like it's going to be pretty hot to sit on. Do you know if these are machine-washable?

I decided to start with "towel"-like seat covers (still waterproof though) and see what happens:

I’ve used those Cabela’s covers in the past and they are solid. ?

Get the protection of a custom seat cover with the versatility and value of near-universal fit with the Cabela's® TrailGear Bucket Seat Cover. This Cabela's seat cover provides a great look with the durable protection of heavy-duty, 600-denier polyester. The rugged fabric beads and repels light surface liquid to deliver long-lasting protection for the seats in your vehicle. With an improved design, this cover fits a wide range of bucket seats and keeps the cover tight to the seat. Rear storage pockets keep gear organized. Imported.

  • 600-denier polyester construction
  • Near-universal fit
  • Beads and repels light surface liquid
  • Fits a wide range of bucket seats
  • Cover stays tight to seat
  • Rear storage pockets
They don't get hot to sit down on in the summer, never an issue.
It doesn't specify if they are machine washable, but I did remove one in the past, hand washed it in tub of soapy water and hung it to dry. It was fine.

As I've stated in the "why don't you remove your doors" thread...roll up the window and the seats stay clean? We keep a couple microfiber beach towels in the seat pocket. If you have to get out in the mud, throw a towel over the seat.

Do you have a link for the one you ended up buying? I'd like to give one a try. Would not want to use it full time, just something to throw on every now and then. How is it working out for you?
Thanks!
