Looking to get some, well at least one (passenger side), for my Defender 130.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Don't need "genuine" ones if there is a less expensive option out there.

Cheers

We have a pair of sheep skins in our 90 that we got for under $50 from Supercheap, fit very well & the lady loves them.
They are having a sale today!

Cheers

if you want comfortable + durable - take a look at Black Duck seat covers

Hi,

(IMHO) the covers made by Escape Gear in South Africa are probably the best that I have come across - materials used, fit, quality, style etc.

I think they are distributed locally under "Black Widow" branding.

Price here versus over there is another issue perhaps.

Cheers,

Candy Canvas used to make some excellent covers and were cheaper than Black Duck and Michelle Sacks

The Britpart waterproof ones are about $80 a pair, not fancy, but waterproof and very hard wearing.

but comfortable?

Teh main issue here is that heat plus vinyl = wet and sweat.

With my fiance being from Adelaide she's not used to the humidity and my air con is, umm, non functional.

So looking for insulation and comfort I guess?

They're like a canvas feel vinyl, they haven't been at all uncomfortable, even on long drives in Kimberley humidity.
