yep, got one each when we went to skye
as in previous post.
very good and were cheap to us as she had not provided bike skins before and they are a waste product off their product range.
dont know if she is selling them as seat skins but give her a ring and she will know what you need.

Lambland for me but once I got a Sargent seat it was never needed, might just dig it out and give it a try on this new set of wheels
thanks for reminding me it made a good pillow, I just put the two elastic straps around my jacket a couple of wee drams and slept like a baby (thumbs)

If you can get one with the lanolin still in it. Sheepskins tend to have this removed when for indoor use. Why is better to have? That's what makes them waterproof. (thumbs) And if your legs are long enough, go to an upholsterers and snag a foam wedge - they sell them (£18ish) for people to put under saggy sofa cushions. Trim to size and contact adhesive it to the underside of your sheepie. Excellent. I put a strap between the sheepie and the foam and use that to fix it round the saddle - rucksack clips. Off road - ride on the thinner edge of the wedge. Long distance on asphalt etc, ride on the thicker bit. The wedge shape is brilliant for your back too. Helps keep it straight. Great on a long trip. :) Love mine!
