Sheepskin seat covers can be a complicated product to buy online. There are so many different variations of sheepskin seat covers available on the market. Depending what quality and feature you are looking for, it can be difficult choosing the right one. Wool is a natural product and each sheepskin may therefore slightly vary in colour.
This guide will go through the different sheepskin seat covers in our range and will hopefully help you choose the skin to suit your requirements and budget.

Explorer
$169.99 Pair
The Explorer is the entry level sheepskin in our range and is only available in charcoal colour. It is almost half the price of the next step up, so I would not purchase this expecting the finest sheepskin available on the market. It is what the manufacturers call a diamond cut sheepskin or patchwork sheepskin, as the seat cover is made from pieces of sheepskin stitched together.
Because of this, it is not as hard wearing or smooth as a sheepskin seat cover made from a full one piece skin. Being a natural product, sometimes you may have colour variation from the patch work.
The back, sides and skirting of the seat cover are an acrylic fur for easy stretch and fitting. The Explorer features a rear map pocket and comes with a 12 month guarantee. The seat covers are fitted with standard buckle and clip system. The Explorer is now available for vehicles with side integrated airbags in the front seats, using Deploy Safe stitching technology.

Drover
$269.99 Pair
The Drover is the first sheepskin seat covers in the range which has a full skin at the front of the seat. It has a very silky smooth 16mm thick pile and boasts a 3 year extended Motoquipe guarantee.
These sheepskins feature the Deploy Safe stitching technology making it suitable for vehicles with or without side airbags. The Drover also have extra features such as front pocket, side pocket and rear map pocket.

Rivergum
$299.99 Pair

Snowyfleece
$349.99 Pair
The Snowyfleece is our best selling sheepskin seat cover. It features 25mm sheepskin and a 5 year extended Motoquipe guarantee. It is not surprising this is the most popular as it is only $50 more than the Rivergum and has a thicker and more comfortable skin, with an extra 5mm thick pile. The Snowyfleece has the biggest jump in quality for the price.

The back and sides are still made from acrylic fur. The guarantee is also increased to 6 years.
