You are going to be shocked if you think active x is more durable than leather. ActiveX is just vinyl. It will start to tear and rip off in chunks. Leather if treated and cleaned properly should last many many years.
And your qualifications to make this assessment are...?

Doesn’t matter what kind of seats my cars have. I always cover them with Coverking Tactical Seat Covers

Got my windows tinted. No more hot seats, and I drove mine on a 500 mile trip in July.

You are definitely confused, ActiveX is "not" just vinyl. According to the patent it is Synthetic Leather, and has already been around for years. It's been tested and is in fact more durable than leather and vinyl.

I guess i got a deal on tint, 8 windows including WS, was $260. Definitely get the WS done, stops glare as well. Go 1-2 shades from clear.

The seats are very comfortable for what they are. They do get sweaty/sticky but its been 110, and we cruise for hours. I keep them lathered up with protective. I thought i wouldnt like the clashing colors, but i really enjoy it, 3 shades of blue, tan, bronze trim.

I Fully understand!!!! Unfortunately I find them incredibly hot...to the point I am considering selling mine. I now live in South Carolina so no heat and humidity here:oops:
I understand. I’ve had active x in another vehicle so I knew what I was in for. I bought these just to put in for the summer and they worked. No more sweaty back. They are cheap, easy to remove and machine washable.

I could see a seat cover as a good investment. I will check out your setup.

Vinyl is synthetic leather. You do understand that they renamed it with slight variations and some improvements but it's just a marketing gimmick. Don't get me wrong if I didn't live in Phoenix Arizona I rI would have gotten them since I like the look. However I am not going to sit here and say it's more durable than leather. Other than Ford which came out with this "new" synthetic leather aka vinyl, where are you getting information that it is more durable? Especially since it's only been out for a couple of years lol

Okay, you don't have to like it. Some of us do.

Moving on...
