Living in a hot climate means extra wear and tear on your car’s interior. Your seat covers should be chosen accordingly.
Best Materials for Heat Resistance
- Cloth: Stays cooler to the touch and allows airflow.
- Perforated Leather: Offers ventilation while maintaining a premium look.
- Leatherette (With UV Protection): More affordable than leather, but check for UV-resistant coatings.
Materials to Avoid
- Vinyl: Tends to get very hot and sticky.
- Non-perforated leather: May trap heat and cause discomfort.
Bonus Tips
- Choose lighter colors to reflect sunlight.
- Use sunshades or park in covered areas to reduce overall cabin temperature.
The right material makes a big difference in comfort during long summer drives.
