This cover works great. I've been using it close to a year now. I've left my bike out in rain, sleet, and snow and this cover has never leaked. Unlike plastic covers, I leave the cover on the seat when I ride most days also. It hasn't worn out, ripped, or torn in any way. The only times I remove it, is if the cover is wet and I need to ride or if I'm riding in good weather with no chance of rain.

If there's a negative, it's that it will hold water on its top layer. So if it has rained and your bike is outside, take the cover off before you ride the bike. Otherwise it works awesome. I have mine covering a Brooks Flyer saddle on my Surly LHT with Planet Bike fenders. No water issues ever.

I have bought two of these now (lost the first one) and they're phenomenal products. A thin cover for you r bike seat that as far as I know is completely waterproof. I have mine on my bike all the time as my seat have started to tear, and it makes it look much better, and then when it rains I take the cover off and the seat is dry! I've never had a problem with the product and have been very impressed, I would recommend this to anyone who rides in damper conditions.

Brooks saddles go bad if ridden in rain, the leather stretches. Put one of these covers on and you don't have to worry anymore! I have 2000 miles on mine so far, ridden through snow and rain, zero problems. Note that it does not protect the underside so you should have fenders of some kind.

I bought one of these last year to protect my Brooks B67 from the terrible winter we were having. On the first ride out I noticed on returning home that the cover was missing. Putting it down to a fluke (thinking I'd maybe fitted it hastily) I purchased another when they came back in stock. Just tried forwards tugging on it to test it and.... it pops off so easily that now I'm loathe to go cycling with it fitted in case it 'disappears' again.

Would be better with a toggle/tightening system, or maybe it's just unsuitable for the B67 type saddle?

This was a lovely seat cover and I was initially very happy with it. Unfortunately, it fell off at some point in the first week and is now lost forever.

Greatly inferior to the shower-cap-style giveaway seat cover that I had for at least a year before losing.

I had a chance to do a couple of rainy rides and put this on when it started raining. On the bike without fenders the saddle still got wet from the roadspray off the back tire but on the bike with fenders the saddle stayed nice and dry.
