This definatly adds much more jelly padding to your behind. I used to ache for days after a long bike ride. This fits quite snugly over your existing seat, then you pull a drawstring to make it secure. IT will also make your seat just a little bit larger. It stays in place and does not slide around. An excellent investment.

The seat of my bicycle is already well padded, but I found that the bikes in the spin center had much narrower and uncomfortable seats. I can take this gel base seat cover into the spin room with my water and towel, slip it on, and enjoy a more comfortable spin session!

This review is from: Bell Gel Base Bicycle Seat Cover (Sports)

This is my second gel seat cover. I'm already a huge believer in gel seat covers because I used to find riding my bike very uncomfortable and using a gel seat cover allowed me to bike a lot more with a lot less discomfort for a small investment. The gel padding takes the edge off the pressure on the pelvic bone and allows me (a heavy guy - 300+ lbs) to bike for hours. My last seat (not Bell) lasted 3 years - until the gel started to lose its integrity (and form loose chunks under the cover. I was a little nervous about the Bell Gel Base because it's so inexpensive. I was afraid it would smaller or thinner or somehow compromised - but no problems. The Bell Gel Base is just as good as any gel seat cover I've seen and fit both my large seat and my wife's small seat just fine (via the adjustable pull cord). The Gel is firm but deep and works great.

The concept with a seat cover is you just put it over your existing seat. The possible downsides are that it might slip a bit to one side during use. I periodically have to straighten mine out - but no big deal. The upside (over buying a special gel seat) is that it's less expensive and when it wears out you just buy another.
