seat cover replacement seat cover for Arctic Cat ATVs 1996–2005 — black marine vinyl, cold‑crack −65°F, 4‑way stretch

Durable replacement seat cover engineered to fit a wide range of Arctic Cat ATVs (1996–2005) and made from cold-resistant 4-way stretch marine vinyl with a −65°F cold-crack rating.

If your Arctic Cat’s original upholstery is cracked, faded, or torn, this replacement seat cover restores appearance and weather protection without buying a full seat. Sold as the cover only (foam and pan not included), it installs like the factory cover and is manufactured in North America. The material is a heavy-duty marine vinyl specially formulated for extreme cold, UV exposure, and outdoor use while keeping a flexible stretch for an accurate fit.

Will this seat cover fit my Arctic Cat model?

Yes — this cover is designed to match many Arctic Cat years and model families from 1996 through 2005. Fitment covers multiple 250, 300, 400, 454 and 500 variants, including Bearcat and TRV models; some specific exceptions (like certain 400 TBX or DVX models) are noted below.

• Fits 1996–1997 Bearcat 454 4x4 and 454 2x4 variants listed
• Compatible with 1998–2005 300 and 400 2x4/4x4 models except 2005 400 TBX 4x4 automatic and all 400 DVX years

• Includes fitment for 1999–2005 Arctic Cat 250 2x4 and other listed years

How durable and weatherproof is the material?

The cover uses a premium outdoor marine-grade vinyl with 4-way stretch that resists cracking in extreme cold and holds up to sunlight and moisture. This isn’t a basic aftermarket vinyl — it’s selected for superior flexibility and longevity across seasons.

• Cold-crack rated to −65°F for winter durability
• Marine-quality surface resists UV fading and water absorption
• 4-way stretch allows tight, wrinkle-free installation over foam
• Made in North America with attention to material quality

How do I install this replacement seat cover?

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with ATV seat re-covering: you remove the old cover, position the new cover over the foam and seat pan, and secure it as the factory cover was fastened. A simple installation tip reduces friction and makes the cover slide into place more easily.

• Cover sold as the upholstery only — foam and seat pan not included
• Place a plastic sheet or garbage bag over the foam first to ease sliding
• Stretch the cover evenly and fasten with the same staples or clips from the original
• Trim excess material as needed, keeping factory attachment points

What should I expect in finish and appearance?

The cover recreates a factory-style look with a textured marine vinyl finish that resists scuffs and holds color outdoors. Stitching and fit aim to match OEM lines so the ATV retains its original profile and rider comfort.

• Textured finish hides scratches and dirt better than smooth vinyl
• Accurate contours keep the original seat silhouette
• Colorfast construction minimizes fading from sun exposure
• Professional fit when installed correctly over the existing foam

Who this is for: This replacement seat cover is intended for Arctic Cat owners who need to restore or improve their ATV’s seating without replacing the entire seat assembly. It’s ideal for riders in cold climates, fleet owners maintaining multiple machines, or anyone seeking a durable, OEM-style upholstery solution. Remember: this listing is for the cover only — buy if you already have the seat foam and pan and want a high-quality, cold-resistant replacement cover.
