Cloth V.S. Leather

Leather is my preference, and my H3 sees mostly city-slicker duty. 31K+ miles and leather seats are holding up fine. Seat heaters are nice too. Just my 2cents.

for durability, cloth hands down..the cloth in the H3 is different from any other car i've seen lately -- it can take whatever you throw at it and still look great...you can do a search and find some issues people are having with leather (color, stiching coming undone) granted some of that is warranty...the downside is non-power seats, comfort, etc as mentioned above...

i defintly agree witht he durabilty part, its not like any other cloth whatsoever in any car ive ever been in, i recommend going to see and sit in the cloth you will think a lot differently then you do now, unles you already have that is. Also to tell you the truth about comfort, my parents have had BMW's and Mercedes and i must say that my cloth seats in the Hummer are more comfortable then the leather seats they have had, i dont know its just someting about them. Also as my dad thinks the cloth just suits the whole appearance of the hummer more, like more offroady.

the leather is superb. its as good as the leather in my bentley, and the power adjust makes it even better...

I dunno about cloth being more 'offroady' -- leather is easier to clean when it comes to mud...not as much seepage..

yea since when is cloth more durable. And water doesnt ruin leather. Dont hate on us because you dont have it. Leather is supose to be more durable than cloth. Theres been a few people who have the white leather complaining about colors rubbing off on thier seats and such. But duh its white. Leather is easy to clean water doesnt seem to do a thing to it. Along with soda, beer, ice cream, pizza, mud, gum, dog ****, cofee, chocolate, and im sure i've hit it with others. The heated seats are nice. But i've noticed it takes a while for them to heat up. And i swear if your not driving around they dont heat up. They could also be hotter. I only use high cause low is like the same amount of heat my a$$ generates normally from sitting on it. Wish the back of the seats werent plastic. They should be leather too. Makes the truck look cheap. If they were leather and had a nice leather pocket. Much nicer.

also i had a loaner h3 when my car was in the shop and the cloth seats were destroyed in my opinion. The black was fading and turning a lighter black greyish kinda color in spots. Truck was pretty baddly beaten though.

The leather seats are very comfortable .. and don't retain odors (like cloth seats do) when brought into the vehicle, like food smells.

what did you ever wnd up getting the cloth or the leather.

Me got's the Leather... But .. I also spent the bucks for the GM HUMMER optional off road seat covers for the front and rear seats. The also have the head rest covers that are embrodered with The HUMMER logo.

In the winter I use just the driver seat cover. And when I go off road ..I use them all. The seat cover material is very comfortable and durable and fits well.

I picked them up thru my dealer and he gave me a very good price. They are expensive but to me well worth it.

I like the heated leather seats in the H3!
This is my first with leather seats and I'll take leather any day.

So cars now have ventilated leather with heat and ac!

I have a cover for the back seat which I put on on for camping trips top protect it from from the dog's feet , claws and mud etc.

leather is better than cloth in every way .....

Here's a pic off of the HUMMER site..under Accesories/Interior.

Open it in a pic viewer and enlarge it. This is the largest pic on the site.

What's the approx. price on the seat protectors?
