Thought about getting one of these covers last year. However persevered with sore butt after a long day in the saddle. Finally bought one for the Pyrenees trip this year. What an improvement , from Dieppe to Tours and Tours to Pau perfect comfort. Then Pau to Jaca three night stay and long rides each day. Then onto Sort for three nights and ride outs each day. Then up to Limoges for a night then up to Rouen. The Cool seat cover made the Tour more enjoyable, first class . Also stops you sitting in a pool of water when you spend a day in the rain
