Colin: Hi everyone. It's Colin here at etrailer. and today we're going to go through some different situations where this etrailer bucket seat cover might come in handy to have in your vehicle. Now I've done some work out in the yard today, pretty wet and muddy out here. So my coveralls, you can see, are pretty dirty, but I've still got to get home. So instead of dirtying up the inside of my Dakota I just threw the etrailer bucket seat cover over my driver's side seat.

So I can sit down and get home without worrying dirtying up the inside of my Dakota. Covers our bucket seat very nicely, so at the end of the day I can just climb into my truck.It's going to collect all that mud, dirt, sweat, whatever you might have on you, so you can drive home and you don't have to worry about cleaning up your seats after.There's a lot of different situations where this bucket seat cover would come in handy. But instead of just listing those out, we'll go ahead and show you guys a couple. And I'm just going to toss it to my buddy Ajay so he can show you guys how he uses it. Ajay: What's up everybody It's Ajay with etrailer.com.

I just want to explain to you why I use the bucket seat cover in my vehicle. I didn't have one for a very long time. I go to the gym every single day. I go and run at the park on the weekends. I bring a lot of sweat and dirt back with me in my car.

I'm not even the one that noticed it. My friends told me, your car smells like a gym. So I decided to try and do something about it. I got this cover and it's been really helpful.I can throw it down in there and come back in. Don't worry about it.

A lot of the sweat and stuff soaks into the cover itself, so it starts to smell. I just take it inside, throw it in the washer, gets it nice and clean, I bring it back out when I need it out here. It really helps my car smell a lot better and my friends are happier riding with me. One thing I was impressed with when I installed it in my vehicle was that this band here detaches and go behind my seatbelt. Because otherwise this wasn't going to work out too well. If the band was on this way, I couldn't use the seatbelt and I'm pretty sure that's illegal. So it was nice that it accommodates that. Seatbelt's free to be used. Another thing I really like about this cover is it fits around the headrest. That keeps the cover up and on your seat.I used to try and use towels, beach towels, after my runs or after the gym. Throw it down on your seat, they would just fall over. You try and get it up here and set. It would just fall right off or come out of the car with you when you got out, and really just did nothing but make me mad. This cover's going to stay on your seat. It's going to stay right here. You can pull on it. It's not falling down. It's going to keep you protected. That way all the sweat and dirt stay here and it's not going to make you mad. Colin: I even found a pretty cool use for these seat covers. They're not just for humans. I like to take my pup to the park. And after she's done running around, especially if it's kind of wet out and muddy outside, she'll get mud all over her bottom of her paws, maybe even on her stomach or back if she wants to roll around.So instead of trying to clean her off at the end of the day, all I'll do is throw a couple of seat covers in my driver and passenger side seats and we'll get in the car. She'll just go over and sit in that passenger seat. And instead of getting her muddy prints all over my back seat, or even you can see she stepped a little bit on my arm rest, but that's easily cleanable. But with the covers, I don't have to go back and try to clean my seats off. And we've gone over some different uses for it. Obviously there's a lot more that you can use this for to help protect your seats. But what I'm going to do now is just go ahead and get it installed in my car and just go over some more features about it, give you more information about the cover itself.You see the strap goes right over the top. And I just saw Ajay earlier with that seatbelt thing. He had it on his seat. Mine, however, is attached to the panel over here, so I don't have to worry about taking that hook and loop strap apart. It goes right over the top of the headrest very nicely. Just pull it down and get it nice and snug. And this is going to fit virtually any bucket seat that you might have. I'm going to get it down into the cracks right there. You can tuck it in at some points right there between the center console. And then I can just sit down. Doesn't shift around at all like you saw that towel was doing to Ajay. I can get in and out multiple times without worrying about my cover moving around.Now, how it stays in place as it has all these little micro beads on the bottom side right here. You can see, even when my pup was jumping around from seat to seat, it didn't adjust at all. And no matter the upholstery you have, I've got some synthetic leather in my car right here. But Ajay's had some fabric and it still wasn't moving around.You can shift as much as you need to. If you have to reach in the back and grab something, you can do that without worrying about your cover adjusting. Now those micro beads are just one of the three layers. In the middle, You have a laminate layer between the velour top and the micro beads. That just helps keep everything waterproof, prevent liquids from soaking in and getting on your seat. Then the top right here is going to be a velour fabric, and that's just a soft fabric. It does add a lot of comfort to the seat. I really didn't expect it to with how thin the seat cover is. But it actually does add more comfort while I'm driving, and you can see it's just very soft. It's going to also be very durable so the washing machine is not going to affect it at all.It's going to clean it up nicely. Now I do want to point out that it will work with any heated seats you might have. We've got three settings on here. This is my car. I usually like to leave it on two, but since we do have an extra layer over here between our seat and ourselves, you do want to increase the power of it. And it will take a little bit more time for that heat to come up in through the cover.And like you've seen it a couple of times, it does fold up into the head rest, makes for a very nice and easy storage, nice little square shape. You can stow it in your trunk, under your seat, wherever is convenient. Personally, I would always just keep it on my seat until I had to take it off, wash it real quick and put it back on.But you do have this nice storage option. And I think overall this is just a really nice and simple design to cover up your seat, keep it clean from whatever lifestyle you might have, whether it's active, going for runs, a lot of bike rides, maybe you like to go out with your pets like I do. Or even if your job just requires you to really be getting dull, dirty and sweaty. And you don't want to dirty up the seats of your car or your truck. Sometimes even those newer models, you want to keep those looking fresh as long as you can. It's a really nice and economical solution to get that to happen. Thank you all for watching and I hope this information helped you out. But that's going to do it for our look at the etrailer bucket seat cover.
