    Consumers.
    Shipping is free, it says.

    I have one of those, got it in an LBS for $7. There are WAY more stupid bike accessories than that.

    Mimi's right though- it's not really waterproof enough. So I sprayed it with some boot waterproofing spray I had- that helps a lot. It does fit brooks saddles perfectly and stays put.
    But- yes I always have a plastic grocery bag in my saddlebag- never know when you might need to put something you find or buy into a bag to carry home (mushrooms and rescued turtles are two things that come to mind)....but the grocery bag slips around a lot on the saddle and wants to come off. So my solution is to put the grocery bag on the leather saddle, then slip the Brooks cover over it and cinch it closed- holds everything snugly in place and fits like a dream. Voila- total waterproof-ness and the two bags take up almost no space in my saddlebag and weigh next to nothing. Works well for me!
