When it comes to stains, spills, odors and other messes, waterproof seat covers can be the first area in your vehicle that suffers. Whether you have kids, dogs, or just a messy lifestyle, the right waterproof seat cover can protect your upholstery from damage.

There are many different types of waterproof covers available, and each offers its own unique benefits. The best seat covers are custom-fit for your year, make and model of vehicle, which will ensure a snug fit that stays in place without any gaps or loose areas. These covers also come in a wide range of colors and styles, so you can find the perfect look for your ride.

Stay Dry and Protected: Exploring the Best Waterproof Seat Covers

For example, the Motor Trend AllProtect Seat Covers ($42) are sleek and blend into your car’s original design, so they don’t look bulky. They’re made from neoprene, which is ideal for protecting your seats against fresh and saltwater, mud, dirt, and sunlight that can discolor your upholstery. The AllProtect Seat Covers are side-airbag compatible and are machine washable for easy cleaning.

Waterproof heavy-duty seat covers can be a lifesaver for outdoors enthusiasts, van-lifers and parents who often bring dirt, dust, grime, mildew, spills and other debris back into their vehicles after a day of hiking, biking, camping or driving. They help your vehicle’s seats last longer, are easier to keep clean and sanitary and add to your vehicle’s overall resale value. Katzkin’s XT seat covers, for example, are a good choice for outdoor adventurers and lifted 4Runner owners. They’re designed to withstand all the abuse you can throw at them, and they’re backed by a one-year warranty.
