sheep skin ????

Wife wants to try a sheep skin on the seat, and wants to know if people prefer the long hair skins or short hair skins. Thanks.

Any sheep skin is going to be very comfortable compared to the seat but if you ever get one wet they s t i n k!!!

I think the short hair looks better and dries faster.

I have the sheared and use it on longer rides. I think it looks a little better than the long hair. Works well.

I've used the short hair sheep skin from Aerostich for many years and wouldn't take a long ride w/o it. I've got one for my wife as well for riding two-up. It's cool in the summer and warm in winter. Like others say, don't get it wet.
