[QUOTE="BikerGeek99, post: 997007, member: 14243"] It's not so much the seat cover (vinyl, in your case) getting wet - it's the foam getting wet once the water pools up and seeps in through the stitching holes. As for purchasing the seat cover: is your riding gear waterproof? If so, you should be fine. Do you mind having a wet ass for the ride home? If not, you should be fine. See where I'm going with this? FWIW - my Russell is the velour cover. While I like the velour cover (its stickyness keeps Sooze from sliding in to me when I get on the brakes, and the velour keeps my ass cool when riding home and the bike has been sitting in the parking lot all day) it soaks up water like a sponge. No biggie for me due to my riding gear, but Sooze's's's's's gear has proven to not necessarily be as waterproof, so I always have my seat cover stuffed in my tank bag, just in case. [/QUOTE]
