Try http://www.seatshield.com/ for a better solution. These are fairly inexpensive special seat covers that go on in a few seconds and have several layers. The top layer absorbs moisture, sweat, dirt and the other layers will not allow moisture to get through to the seats themselves. I found it in a runner's magazine for pretty much the same purpose as what a paddler faces...i.e. not wanting to get sweat and mud and soaked clothing affecting the seats. ralph diaz *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
