Water resistant but not waterproof

Most motorcycle seats are built with a sheet of plastic between the seat cover and the foam, this is to prevent the water from going through the cover stitching into the foam.
However, the sheet of plastic tends to holds all the heat in the seat cover so we do not use this method.
Our seats will disperse the seat cover heat through the foam and your butt will have a cooler ride.
The trade off for this is our Ultimate seats are not completely waterproof.
A Vinyl seat will let water in through the stitching and Leather will do the same and also soak through the hide if it gets really wet.
A rain cover should be used to prevent water from seeping through the stitches into the comfort foam.

We recommend you always cover your seats with our Ride-on waterproof cover when sitting or riding in the rain.

Our covers will also protect your seats from the suns damaging rays.

Leather Versus Vinyl

We have discontinued our leather seat production, a leather option is no longer available
In my opinion, there are no advantages with a leather seat on a motorcycle.
Most people cannot visually tell the difference between our premium Vinyl and Leather unless they are side by side and then it needs to be pointed out which is which. Neither Leather nor Vinyl breathes except through the stitching. Neither seats, Vinyl or Leather are waterproof. A Vinyl seat will let water in through the stitching and Leather will do the same and also soak through the hide if it gets really wet.
Durability is similar but our premium Vinyl will hold its shape and new look longer than Leather.
I recommend you always cover your seats with our Ride-on waterproof cover when sitting or riding in the rain.

I believe our premium Vinyl seat is the best overall value.

Enjoy the ride again
