My Backside sweats!

[craigatcsi]

During our all day rides on hot days, my backside sweats quite a bit. I am convinced that it is from the Vinyl on the seat. My Back also sweats alot where the backrest rides.

I do not sweat in my Truck which has Leather seats.

So, I am thinking about having my seats on the bike redone in Leather. Has anyone here done this?

Do you think it would help?

I know I could use beads or Sheepskin, I just don't want the hassle.

I don't have near as much problem with the sweating issue since I switched to a Corbin seat, so the leather may help. Although, sometimes I do still have some sweating issues caused by the backrest, but then, the Warden is a hot bloded woman... :crackup:

You may want to try a sheep skin, works great for me-cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Just google sheep skin and you'll find dealers.

The problem with Sheepskin is that my backside fits perfect into the pocket of the seat. The sheepskin would raise me out of that pocket, same for the beads.

And, as I said before, I just don't want the hassle. I had one on a bike back in the 70s and didn't like having to stoe it away when not sitting on it.

I too have the Corbin and it is leather. I think it is much cooler than the stock vinyl seats.

That's what got me thinking about it.

My last bike had the Corbin and no sweating at all.

We use our Sheep skin from IKEA and it works very well.
