Not sure if you’re interested but I have the OEM black (sport) cloth interior for sale that is hydro-coated so it doesn’t stain and liquids just roll off. I took off the stock upholstery to install leather, but the stock black upholstery is in perfect condition. Was thinking $200 for everything.

I was going to toss out Wet Okole, but they apparently don't make them for Ram. They may be too expensive, anyway.

In all seriousness, you get what you pay for. Stick with name brands, and while you might pay more, you will be happy for a long time.

I’ll give the example of my 1998 Land Cruiser that needed new leather interior. I ordered full perforated leather replacement covers from a company on eBay that had over 5000, 5-star reviews. They started cracking and coming apart after sitting inside a garage for a year and a half, with the only be used being the truck driven for a half hour once a month. Looking back, I should’ve paid double the money to not have to worry about it for another 20 years.

I put a set of cheap seat covers ($100 for front set, don't remember the brand) on my previous '14 Silverado right when I got it. Fit was garbage and they twisted around everywhere on the seat. Took them off after 3 months and got covercraft neoprene covers. 1000x better.

Currently have the covercraft spacer mesh covers on my '21 Bighorn. Yeah, they aren't cheap, but they fit damn good. Beware, I had to remove the back seats completely to get the rears on. Not a huge deal, but a bit of a hassle.

With kids and work, I trash seat covers. Better than trashing the actual seat.

So I ended up buying this set and they are awesome. They fit nearly perfect and look good. I’ll take some pics when I get a chance.

I thought about getting a set to protect the leather seats in my Laramie. With work, I sometimes have stuff on me. Something I could just take off, throw in the wash, and put back on. A couple weeks ago, I left work and covered the seats with trash bags to be safe until I got home.

is neoprene soft to sit on?
Yup. I have real neoprene ones in my truck and they're great. They make a neoprene substitute that is cheaper and feels cheaper. Mine are 100% waterproof; you could pour a bottle of water on them and besides the water that absorbed into the outer layer the rest of the puddle would just sit there.

With seat covers, you really are going to get what you pay for. This thread looks for covers that are cheaper than a couple hundred bucks. On a $40k+ vehicle, it doesn't seem like bank breaking to spend $400 to keep the seats in good shape for many years.
