Default Seat rip!

I have had my Ultra EG for six weeks and already have a rip in the seat.&nbsp\\; I pulled my boot across the seat when I was dismounting yesterday and it must have caught on the seat somehow.&nbsp\\; Has anyone else experienced this?

NoBut if it makes you better, you are not the only one. A buddy at work bought a pricey new seat for his EG Classic and his dogs chased squirrels into his garage.&nbsp\\; The squirrels torn the seat up trying to get away from the dogs.

Does your boot have anything sharp on it?

Nope, no spurs , just eyelets for the top 4 rows of laces.&nbsp\\; I guess one of them caught.
