WET OKOLE owners, does dog hair stick to the covers?

Just wondering, since I have a lab, and now a pug (gf's) and will most likely be getting another lab sometime. How bad does the dog hair stick?

My cloth seats are just a magnet for dog hair, which isn't bad, its cleaning it up that makes in kinda tuff.

Dog hair is attracted to them, but a few passes w/ your hand and it comes right off..

My covers attract them pretty well.
I haven't yet but I will be picking up a brush that has bristles made of rubber. Supposedly it's really good for pet hair.

Heck, dog hair will stick to Teflon. Invest in one of those sticky tape lint brush thingies at Wally World.

Ya, I have a Doberman and the black hair get all over the Okole covers. I use what I'm assuming Waskly is talking about above, and it works real good. You just keep pealing off the layers to reveal a new sticky roll.

Hold off on ordering them... I'm waiting for my covers from CoverKing through Costco.com and they cost less with *supposedly* the same material. I'll post pictures as soon as I get them to compare.

Here's the link to Costco.com's site for the Coverkings
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...opnav=&browse=

According to this link it's a 1 week turnaround. Which probably means I'll get them in about a week and a half. I placed my order like 2-3 days ago so we'll see.


EDIT:
sorry... stopped reading too soon.
One week to make. 3-4 weeks from order to actually get.

Costco.com
I don't think they have it available in the store. What's nice also is that non-members can use the site but they have to pay an additional 5% or something like that. Not bad considering the price difference to Wet Oks.

Assuming that they're as good/better than Oks.
I'll update when I get them.

Got them today!
That was fast but then again, Anaheim (base of operations) is only a quick freeway jaunt away.

My opinions (and pictures) thus far can be found here:

Just don't use the brush on your dog, or it will look like this:



Whenever I put one of the dogs in the truck, I get large tufts of hair on the seats, and that is because they are shedding practically all the time. My seat covers suck though...
