Alaska Leather sheepskin covers. One of the best investments we've made for our bikes. Rode to Sturgis on stock seats very comfortably.

I use Canari padded bicycle shorts. I used to ride mountain bikes. Decided to try them out on an iron butt run. I won't leave home without them in a long run. Them and my Hammock seat. If I didn't need to stop for gas. I wouldn't need to stop.

Thoughts on Sheep Skin pads for longer rides. Seems like something that will breath a little might be better than HD vinyl? If you use some type of Pad, or Skin please share your findings.
Thanks!
https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...large-seat-pad I bought one when they first came out in 2010. It's been on 2 bikes. I also have a few pair of Duluth underwear
http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/m...cessor=content. These work great & the price is right. FYI, stay away from Under Armour. That's all I ever used but the quality/fit has been going downhill for a few years. Duluth has fast shipping & outstanding customer service.

Breathable undies help, I try to buy any with no seams where you contact the seat, same with pants, heavy pocket seams ect suck, you might try the Harley seat pad, I know some that have them ,and swear by them, leather seats may help some, vinyl seats don't breathe at all

Bought one of these 2 years ago on the recommendation of a friend, makes a world of difference. I have done many 300 mile days with no discomfort and air circulation helps keep the boys cool...
