I'm wondering how they are for riding on, for really rainy days when you don't want a leather seat getting wet.
Usually I just ride on the flimsy under-seat cover when it's raining. Given that I do that, and a Cool Ass seat cover is more robust, I assume it will work fine. The under-seat cover is at the point where a hard rain soaks through it, so it might be time to replace it with something more robust. I seem to remember that I bought a Cool Ass Seat Cover when I bought the scooter in 2012, and at some point, it started to shed little silver flakes, but I think I got a fair amount of use out of it before that happened, so maybe it's time to give it another go. |

CoolAss is both heat resistant and waterproof, BUT - I can't, by law. recommend that you ride with CoolAss on your seat. Yes - we do have owners that do this, but it makes the seat BIG TIME slippery and could be dangerous during fast stops, starts and tight curves. CoolAss is meant for protecting seats from rain, sun, snow, wind, hail, dew and so on - when your scoot is parked. In addition, the surface of CoolAss is designed to reflect heat and the sun's rays up and away from it. If you ride with the cover on - on a hot, sunny day - the heat will reflect right back at you! Not good. Darned uncomfortable. Hope to earn your business, though. We are in our fifth-generation of material and any flaking (even after 8+ years) just doesn't happen anymore. And there is nothing like a cool, dry seat when you're getting ready to ride - even on the hottest or wettest days! Thanks again for your note and your questions. Be safe! Best, Brian |

Hi Brian,
Held against the seat and following the contours, it measures 49.5 X 27. The 27 is taken over the drivers little backrest part of the seat. Thanks! Marty |
