Bike Saddle Cover – A softer layer over the saddle you already own

A cover you pull over an existing bike saddle and hold in place with an elastic hem. The outer face is water-repellent and breathable, so the saddle is usable again sooner after a shower. At 28 by 16 centimeters it fits most city and touring saddles.

Why add a cover instead of a new saddle

Swapping a saddle costs money and a trip to the bike shop. A cover puts a softer layer on top without changing anything about the bike itself. In wet weather it also keeps the rain on the outside rather than soaking into the saddle cover underneath.

Elastic hem: grips around almost any city or touring saddle.
Padded layer: cushioning between you and the firm saddle below.
Water-repellent face: a shower stays on the surface instead of soaking in.
Breathable fabric: the layer does not trap heat on a longer ride.
Machine washable: pull it off, wash it, put it back on.

Five seconds of work and the bike feels different straight away.

Pull the cover on front to back, then work the elastic hem under the nose all the way around. It measures 28 x 16 x 2 centimeters, so it sits tighter on a wide upright saddle than on a narrow road one. Wash it on a low program and hang it out rather than putting it in the dryer.
