Default Comfortweave or Leather-like covers on a '72?

I need to replace the seat covers in my '72. I am considering using the covers with the "Comfortweave" insets. I have a non AC car in Florida. Looks like they may be more comfortable. Just wondered if anybody had any experience with these covers?
Thanks

i had the weave covers on my 74, and they looked alright, but they started to turn really slick....if your changing seat covers, go with leather..it looks better.. :thumbs:

I put c-weave in on my '72 up north in Maryland about 7 years ago, and now a daze after 5 years in the Florida sun...yeh, it's starting to split on the seats...the seat backs are fine...I suspect the c-weave is weaker than normal vinyl....but that's a surmise, as I dont have really any direct comparison....
then again a differant car, and similar time frame...and they/it tore out just the same...so....in Florida sun...convertible daily driver...I dunno if leather is worth it...but if you run it as a coupe and/or don't drive it....maybe leather is the way to go....

I can't see 250 bux extra for leather though....

Almost every comfortweave I've seen is faded after a while. Also wears out quickly. If your keeping your car....go leather...or even leatherlike. Sorry, but I don't like comfortweave at all.
