What are you going to do if it rains? Wouldn't that make your butt sweat in the heat? Sorry, don't see the appeal. Jeff

Lambskin is used in hospital on bedridden patients and it prevents bedsores. Natural lambskin is also 100% waterproof, it's cool in summer and warm in winter. I came over from touring and a lot of the smart, 1,000 kilometre a day riders have lambskin seat covers. Try it before you knock it. Nick At 19:04 6/14/00 -0700, Arne wrote:

It's true; our three children each have them on their beds... always nice & comfy. Also, I guess you could always wear rain pants in the rain, and if not, you're going to get wet anyway! Mark B2 A2

Sorry, don't see the appeal. Jeff >> Hmmm... I don't see any sheep dieing from heat prostration when it rains. Actually, the sheep skins natural oils repel water for some time. When it eventually gets wet, your body heat remains constant where you contact the sheepskin, just the miracle of natural fleece I guess. That's why it is the material of choice in convalescent homes. I use a pelt on my motocycle seats whenever I take a long trip and it works great. Dollar for dollar the best mod you can make to any seat. No math necessary for that conclusion, just lots of miles. Gino

See? I want one.....which could interchange between the KLR on trips to Idaho (700 miles in a day) and the R1100RS trips to other places (0 to 800 miles in a day). Anybody know where they sell 'em?

There's a place in Ebensburg, PA called....drumroll.... "The Sheepskin Shop". Sounds almost as funny as "Spatula World". We got one at Woolrich for $45 (American) and two at The Natural Baby Company (NZ) for about $55 each and they all measure about 2'x3'. American sheepskin usually has a shorter nap than the New Zealand variety. Mark B2 A2

Short clipped pile works best at around 1/4". An average pelt will yield about three sections big enough for a rider. If you need additional padding, get a foam sleeping bag pad from a camping store, trim it to the size of the sheep skin and velcroe the two together. I hold mine onto my bikes by using the small thin bungee straps. Hartco sells pelts dyed in a variety of colors. Gino

I have tried it, for years on my car seats. I got so I couldn't stand it, especially in the summer. I don't know what you mean by being waterproof, as it will soak up more water than a sponge. Bedsores, BTW, are caused by bad hygiene. Understandable for an invalid, but not for a biker, unless you ride a HD that is. Jeff

Bedsores are caused by pressure and poor circulation, as in not being "rotated". How dirty or clean a person is doesn't factor.
