Sit and Fly Seat Cover

Cheryl and I were taking a lunch break on our autumn color ride Saturday and saw two ADV bikes with matching seat covers. I didn't realize that they were slip-on covers until I spoke with the bikes' owners. I thought they were either custom seats or some new OEM seat. The covers are a plastic mesh..almost like little springs...that is designed to increase airflow and cushioning. The ADV guys informed me that they bought these covers online for about $25-$30 apiece.

I have never had a big issue with the stock seat, but I did buy a taller seat to improve my leg position. However, my rear end does get hot in the summer and a little sore after 300 miles or so in the saddle. For $30 I figured it was worth a shot.

Haven't ridden with it yet. I am planning to ride about 500 miles on Saturday and another 200 on Sunday. It's supposed to be cool both days so I may not get a fair "seat of the pants" impression, but I'll report back my findings regardless.

It's not bad looking -- I certainly like the look better than a beaded or lambskin pad.
