I was out on the bike yesterday and got caught in a torrential downpour, my sheepskin stayed absolutely dry under the cover - really helped with the comfort other the 600 plus miles.
Great product!!

I just got back from an 8098 mile road trip down to the states and back. My
daughter was in the sidecar and I had a little Coleman Powerchill cooler sitting
on my passenger seat the whole way. The seat has a sheepskin seatcover and then
yout waterproof cover. It functioned perfectly and is still in new condition
even with the stress of the cooler sitting on it. I cut all the velcro off the
driver's seat cover so I can just pop it on and off as needed. We've been
through glacier country, California Redwoods, the heat of California, Nevada,
Arizona and New Mexico, up through Ouray, CO, Denver and Yellowstone.
Thanks for a great product!

Baptism by deluge!
The weather didn't do much in terms of cooperation. I had that nice seat cover you made on my VTX before I left my garage at 'o-dark-thirty' on Saturday morning. Rain was our constant companion for over 500 miles of riding. It actually flooded in La Crosse during a storm on Saturday night and we drove through water covering the road that was at least 9" deep in places. We got lost because we literally couldn't see anything and missed our motel turnoff so we dorked around in torrents of rain for a good 45 minutes before recovering our bearings in Jan's GPS and finally making it back to the motel. The sleeves on my jacket were filled with water. My boots were filled with water. The Money I had in my wallet is still soggy today. We were both soaked to the bone because we had left our rain gear at the hotel thinking that the rain was done for the night. (besides that it was uncomfortable in the warm weather down there). Sunday's ride back to Duluth was dry for the most part, but shortly after leaving Hayward, WI, the temps began to drop... 68, 58, 48. And then dense, misting fog at about 9:00 pm. Wet again....and COLD! But we made it home in one piece. Total miles logged for the ride were 715.
The ONLY bone dry article in my possession after that ride was my custom leather seat thanks to that rain cover! My seat thanks you SO much for that, Jim. You're the BEST!
Oh and BTW - I ended up not using the Velcro strap - it fits the seat so well that I didn't really need it so I just tucked the straps up underneath. By not using the strap, I didn't need to remove the seat to apply the cover.
I've got some extensive clean-up to do on the bike but I'm actually looking forward to the rain-or-shine next ride.
Best Regards,

"Hey Jim: Here are some pics of the seat covers installed. I left the velcro on the passenger seat as I want that one on all the time. The rear seat bolts on and also holds the driver backrest so it would take a bit of time to deal with. My daughter will ride in the sidecar most of the trip so I might as well protect the seat the entire time. I also have sheepskin seatcovers on both seats and your covers are installed over those. I took the velcro off the driver's seat cover as I will put it on and take it off as needed. I think they look good on the bike - as if you had the seats in your hands when you made the covers."
Thanks again for custom mamking these for me.

"I got one of Jim's first seat covers for my Tiger and it works the nuts...Thanks Jim for a great product as I've probably bought most everything motorcycle related and this cover is a keeper."

"New! Water Proof Seat Cover! Protect that new seat on the long hauls and keep your trip dry. I have personally tested these on almost 4,000 miles of road trip in the rain for hours and over nights in storms, no wet butt! Great Product. If you tour or have a leather seat it is a must to protect your seat and comfort."

"I am a very satisfied owner of one of your "sport" day long seats. I
purchased the seat for my '08 Tiger about 18 months ago and I couldn't
be happier. So when I say I am writing you about two great products,
the first of course is your seat. The second is about a rain cover that
has recently come on the market, one that I would encourage you to
consider adding to your line. I have your current rain cover, and it
works. But frankly, there is a considerable gap between the quality of
your seats and that rain cover. The cover I now use is available
through www.kingoffleece.com. and comes in several sizes. What's
remarkable about this cover is the material it's made from. Something
called "splitweight". It is both stretchy and waterproof. It fits the
seat, wings and all like a glove. You just slide it on. I actually
leave it on most of the time. It's durable and comfortable. I can move
around on it easily, when I need to, but at the same time it's not
slick. The heart of the motorcycle industry is these small vendors with
novel products that really make a difference in the riding experience.
When I first started riding, I didn't think a rain cover would ever get
my attention. But once I started thinking about the investment I made
in the Russell seat, and then saw the look and feel of this splitweight
cover, I have to say this rain cover is one of those products. I hope
you'll give it a shot.
