Leather for sure!

 

My seat was done in leather. Added impact gel and this stuff called air ride. It is nice and comfy.

 

Thanks for all of feedback!

 

Thinking about doing something like this with my seat.

 

Both of my Corbin saddles are leather only, no vinyl. Tops and sides.

 

I have two Corbin seats. I'm pretty certain when ordering the first one that they recommend leather for the surface we sit on, but use a man-made material for the rest of the covering, as it is more durable and copes better with us squashing it while seated - it recovers better. Whether it is actually vinyl I don't recall. It does however need more attention, to keep it looking similar to the leather, but mine has survived almost 15 years and is still going strong.

 

Just to add and you may already know this, custom stitching looks nice, but the more the stitching the more water will get in when out in the rain. Big deal probably not.

 

mine too.

 

I just ditched my Lepera Bare Bones solo seat for a Danny Gray Buttcrack in full leather. I'll never go back to vinyl, never.

 

I picked up a used Corbin seat with leather about a year ago.


Leather all the way.


As others have mentioned, while it does need to be conditioned every so often, it breathes, doesn't slip and looks mucho bettero!
