The interior of my 91 Burb is very nice and I would like to keep it that way. I'm wanting some nice fitting covers that fit well and will last. I have been looking at the Coverking Tactical Ballistic covers and the Marathon covers.

I like the fact that the Marathon can be custom and pick several options when it comes to pockets, bow holder, gun holders etc.

The price is around the same ($30 difference), but I can't make a decision on which ones to go with. Both are Cordura material. The Coverkings are $30 more. Anybody have any real world experience on either of these?

Here are the Marathons. I can't find a pic of any in a square, but you get the idea.

I have the Coverking ballistic nylon covers front and rear on my build but they are not the "tactical" version like you want. I think the website I got them from was http://www.car-truck-accessories.com . They are normally $170 each shipped but I found a coupon code online by doing a google search and got them for around $150 each shipped. For example, here is a coupon code for 10% off: ctareview10

Anyway, the fit is good and the material seems durable enough for the price. Haven't logged any miles on the seats yet so can't give you a good idea of longevity. Here are some pics for your reference.

I've been very impressed with the Coverkings in the guy at works truck.. they fit very nice..
 
Have you looked into "wet okole" ? Spendy and they don't come with any fancy bags but they do hold up damn good and they're made outta wet suit material.
 
Got the King Taticals mentioned earlier. Fit like a glove BUT the seats aren't installed in the K5 yet. Quality seems very good. Purchased extra bags and their quality like the seat seems very good.

Do they come with the bags/attachments in the rear? The website is a little vague on that? I'm assuming they do.
 
They come with the some total of bags as seen in my photo on ONE seat. I purchased an extra set . The stitching on the backing attachment seems very good but only time will tell.
 
Decided to go with the Marathon Cordura. With all of the added pockets that I wanted and armrest covers, it was $342 shipped for the front seats:yikes:

Like I said though, My interior is in great condition and I intend to keep it that way, so I think it is a great investment. I'll post up some pics when they are installed.
