    Why is it stupid? Mine has saved my seat a time or two when I'm transporting my bike on the back of my car. I don't like my Brooks exposed to rain and sun while it's on my Thule. I used plastic bags a couple of times, but the wind catches them and rips them. This is pretty form fitting and works perfectly. Maybe it doesn't rain there? Once I left in early morning humidity/fog and it kept the seat dry then, too. I try not to expose my bike to the rain, but sometimes the weather changes on a dime and I've been caught in it.

    If I'm leaving my bike out in the rain and I intend to ride it later, I put plastic bags or a shower cap on the seat.

    usually I double bag it, so I can take off the wet outer bag and sit on the dry inner bag during my wide & not wet my seat or bum prematurely.

    But maybe I'm a princess.

    i tend to turn mine inside out so as not to advertise the fact that there's a brooks saddle underneath, but yeah, i guess i don't see why it's such a bad product. it rolls up and fits under my seat so it's always there. i don't always have plastic bags on me.

    Heh. If you even RIDE in the rain you're not as princess as me I don't know what it is but I can run in the rain and walk in the rain but riding? I don't know if it's princess or wuss, I just can't bring myself to do it.
