I have a kurayken half cover. It packs about the size of a small pillow. After leaving the bike out all night at hotels in the morning the seat stays dry and most of the bike doesn't have that morning dew on it. I used to use just a seat cover till last year but now I'm glad I made the switch.

Check out EXIGENT. I've used their products for some years now (Have a storage cover, a full rain cover and a half cover. They are light weight, rugged and pack small.
They also make a 'seat cover'...haven't tried it yet though.

Well mine came via the big brown truck yesterday. I used it today as it was 80* after I got off of work. I need to do something about my antenna's as I needed a little help from a coworker to get it on.
I used a surface temperature gizmo to measure his seat surface and then mine under the cover after work. Mine was almost 20* cooler than his that was sitting in the sun.

That's a great idea. Mine has the full length antennas. I've figured out how to put it on myself now, The antennas just fold forward and actually help keep a "bubble" shape. Seems to let more air movement under the cover also.
