Bartact Tactical Seat Covers — TJ/LJ (1997-2006)
Bartact invented the tactical seat cover category. Every cover is custom-cut — not universal — hand-sewn in the USA from 600D Polyester (standard colors) or 1000D Cordura nylon (Coyote, OD, ACU) — both with PU waterproof backing, laminated foam and scrim, and mil-spec MOLLE webbing on every seat. No other brand on this page offers all three.
