Neoprene is NOT compatible with heated seats — a critical limitation for most Wrangler and Bronco owners. Bartact’s 600D Patriot Polyester is the primary material for standard colors; 1000D Cordura is used for specialty colors (Coyote Tan, Olive Drab, ACU). Both are custom-cut for your exact vehicle — not universal fit.
