    Sounds like Zen was right.

    It's 'water resistant', in that rain beads up on it and rolls off if you are inside a cafe or store and your bike is out in the rain. It keeps your saddle dry for that. But if you are sitting on it and riding in heavy rain, the wetness eventually gets mashed through. Yeah, they should really get a better material.

    If you use it the way I do though, it works great and is well worth buying.

    Let me see if I have this straight. The people that have this cover, like it, have already tried the bag thing and found that they are hard to keep on in some instances. These just pop on, no fuss, form fitting so the wind doesn't catch it, (was anyone even listening?) and yes, my saddle stays dry. Others who have never even tried it are telling those of us, who like it, that we are idiots and wasting our money, EVEN THOUGH they have never seen or used one? Why am I having a problem with this?
