Neoprene vs. Neosupreme Fabric Comparison

Whether you’re braving the high surf or the rugged mountainous terrain, keeping your upholstery covered with AT’s neoprene seat covers might sound like the ideal solution. What many don’t know, is that there are two main versions of neoprene: genuine neoprene and neosupreme. Geniune neoprene is also referred to as CR grade neoprene for “chloroprene rubber” and is the highest-quality, most waterproof version of the material. Neosupreme on the other hand is a less expensive neoprene polyester blend that is water resistant. Find out which one is right for your vehicle and lifestyle as we explore both materials further.

Coverking Genuine Neoprene Seat Covers

Neoprene and neosupreme might sound alike, in terms of name and spelling, but there are considerable differences between the two fabrics. CR-Grade Neoprene is an expensive, often thicker rubber material that’s used in top-grade wetsuits worn by surfers or scuba divers. This high-end neoprene is sewn into seat covers for the best in water protection and comfort. Neoprene seat covers feature hassle-free installation and cleaning, and they’re best for outdoor aficionados and swimmers because they are waterproof, sporty, and durable.

CalTrend NeoSupreme Seat Covers

On the other hand, neosupreme car seat covers include some of the same stylish materials used in genuine neoprene seat covers mixed with a polyester blend. Neosupreme seat covers feature a Neoprene-like material called Neotex, and they’re often complete with a foam backing for added protection. While neosupreme fabric doesn’t stand up to the same level of abuse as CR-grade neoprene, it still provides your upholstery with a durable line of defense against minor spills and abuse. They achieve a similar sporty look and cushiony feel like genuine neoprene seat covers, but without the higher price tag. If you’re looking for stylish car seat covers that are a bit more budget-friendly, AT’s neosupreme car seat covers provide the perfect solution. Once installed, these seat covers actually look the same as the more expensive CR-grade neoprene car seat covers, so you don’t have to worry about compromising style for affordability.
