Default Rain cover for seat

Anyone that has the Saddleman or Mustang seat rain covers, what's your opinions on each?

I had a cover on a Mustang but found it to be very slippery...never used it again after the first ride.

Your experience might be different...

I have the HD version. It is decent. In hindsight, probably didn't need to spend the money.

I don't think they are made to be ridden on, just to cover the seat
when the bike is parked in the rain...

I understand what you're saying...never had a issue when parked...always used a half-cover.

a big garbage bag and a couple of bunji straps to hold it down on the seat works for me

Waste of money. The HD and the Mustang are both sewn together. Leave it overnight in the rain and your seat will be wet. (actual experience with the HD, read about same problem with Mustang) A garbage bag with bungi cords would be better. You can ride in the rain with one on and they seem to work better if you are moving.

I trimmed an old shower curtain to cover my seat for when I wash my bike.
I cut it a little long in places to tuck it in so it stays on better.
You mean folks buy these?
I will personalize them for you (Sharpie) and free ship, 50 bucks each.
Get in line, guys...
