These!
I got these (both front and rear) and was pleasantly surprised.
They've performed well, are water proof (it's a good idea to have a sponge handy to bail the seat out if you've left it with the top down), and fit like a glove. In many respects, they look like the Jeep came from the factory with these on it.
You can spend a lot more on seat covers, but I doubt you'll get a better fit or performance. Mine have been in place for 5 years and 100,000 miles, and have finally started to show some wear and tear (at least on the driver's side, where yours truly sits), but are still plenty functional.
A definite thumbs up on these!

I just ordered the Bestop rear seat cover so that's good to know.

I have these for the front and they are great. The one mfg. improvement I see is putting some sort of drainage in them. They are so waterproof that they save a nice puddle for you to sit in. I run topless by the way.

That's what the sponge is for! Makes a great quick and easy bailing utensil!

How about heat retention in hot areas? Foam is hot.

Poppy, the sponge I'm talking about is my bailing sponge... since when I have the top off (more rare these days) I seem to always catch a rainstorm.

A question was asked about map pockets on these... and yes they have them on the seatback in the same location that the Sahara seat map pockets are, but these are slightly larger (holds more!!! yay!) and sturdier. I usually keep 2 or 3 atlases in each one, plus keep my mag light there within easy reach and a claw hammer (in case any of Poppy's Zombie nails pop up along the way).
