Homemade ones work well too, either remnants from the fabric store of light stretchy naugahyde or other moisture resistant materials, just hem some heavy duty elastic in the edge, or a drawstring. It takes far longer than you would rationally expect, but patience, and not worrying about the

A few years back, an LBS in Oakland CA was selling Selle Italia saddle condoms for $5. At the time, I was nervous about the water resistance of my shiny-new (okay, new to me) Selle An-Atomica Watershed saddle, so I condomized it. Within two weeks, someone stole the saddle cover. The saddle,

I have a lot of Brooks saddles on a lot of bikes, and I use a couple different solutions. I got an actual Brooks rain cover when I ordered one of the nice, super-deluxe, titanium-railed Brooks saddles -- it was packed in the box, along with a little tin of Proofide. I keep that cover rolled up

Most of the time I use a heavy duty shoe cover, made out of some waterproof fabric. There were loads of them at a place I used to work, but no one ever actually used them, they were just sitting in a dusty box in the hallway. Other than that, a plastic grocery bag... Johan Larsson, Sweden On

Aardvark (I believe that is the brand name, and I believe that is what Rivendell sold) is what I use. When I transport my bike in the rain I cover with the seat with the Aardvark, then cover that with a plastic bag, then duct tape over the plastic bag to prevent the Aardvark from blowing off.

Grocery bag and rubber band when need (usually when bikepacking) with my waterproof Rivets. Debra says there isn't a need to use a cover when riding, but suggests it for when the bike will be in the rain when not being ridden. Works great so far, though no long term use with this system to

I see no reason to use a cover while I am riding in the rain, after all, I am sitting on the saddle so how wet can it get. I use a cover when transporting a bike, bikes, or the tandem. So I want the most waterproof and least likely to come off. I have found that both the stretchy type RBW
