    Hey guys, I have a problem with a sheepskin seatcover I made for my bike.

    Really the problem is my Missus who doesn't like long periods on the back without a "bum break"
    Anyway the sheepskin is a great soother but she finds it really slippery to the point where her constant shifting and re-positioning is totally unbearable for me.
    We were wearing jeans at the time so I wonder if leathers would offer some more grip?

    Anyone have any experience with sheepskin and perhaps a "treatment" that'll help?? I have a three day ride coming up next week and would really like to do some long stretches without breaks.

    Wearing leathers will just make it worse. Riding leathers are very slippery to me. Don't know anyway that you are gonna make it less slippery short of a different seat cushion.

    Ever seen these?

    Airhawk Seat Cushion

    Or you could get all fancy and go suede velvety looking...

    Now that's an idea ... though I had thought of putting velcro on her bum. :biggrin:
