I’ll toss the old t-shirt that lives in my saddlebag across the seat. You really don’t need to spend money and buy something. An old towel, etc.

Yes, I could use a towel or a t shirt, but they blow away without a bunch of straps or something.

Their reflective seat covers look like what I wear on my head to quiet the voices.....

Tuck it under the seat at the front, tuck it into the backrest slot at the rear. unless there’s a gale blowing, it’ll stay in place just fine.

Tuck it under the sides too if you wish.

In warmer/hot I'll sometimes throw my mesh jacket across it.

Although I haven't done it myself a previous coworker had a semi-sheer American Flag he somehow attached the corners to the handlebars on one end and to the tour pack on the other. Looked pretty cool.

Maybe do what the organizers at the Academy Awards do and arrange for a seat filler. They can also double as a watch dog.

I bought one of these a few years ago. I bought the size that covers the entre two up seat, but can also use it for my solo seat. I have absilutley no complaints about it, except that some guys might think it doesnt look 'cool enough'. Its held up for several summers here in the Palm Springs area where it get over 110 degrees regularly in the summertime. I highly recommend them. Definitley keeps my seat cooler when the bike is sitting in the sun. Lightwight and takes very little room to store. No, i'm not getting compensated to promote them, lol.
