Wife wants to try a sheep skin on the seat, and wants to know if people prefer the long hair skins or short hair skins. Thanks.

 

Any sheep skin is going to be very comfortable compared to the seat but if you ever get one wet they s t i n k!!!

 

wife went for her first ride on the new short haired sheep skin saturday and she really liked it - said it made the seat more comfortable.

 

I think the short hair looks better and dries faster.

The cover from HD is a nice fit too... i saw it the other day

 

I have the sheared and use it on longer rides. I think it looks a little better than the long hair. Works well.

 

I've used the short hair sheep skin from Aerostich for many years and wouldn't take a long ride w/o it. I've got one for my wife as well for riding two-up. It's cool in the summer and warm in winter. Like others say, don't get it wet.

 

Just got one myself compliments of the wife. The long haired is softer on the tush than the short haired, I did notice that.

 

I just got my second short hair last week (Alaskaleather). I haven't ridden a long hair and I don't know as if they do any better job, I think it's if people like the look.
The long hairs look to be quite a pile compared to the cleaner short hairs.

 

I used an Alaska Leather pad (sheared) for a while on my last bike and liked it a lot. Very butt friendly on long rides.

 

I have a short haired one....full size...never used it. Could send you some pictures if your interested...$60...shipped
