Airhawk vs Cool Covers Seat Covers

[Capt Sisko]

Hi All, I already have an Airhawk inflatable seat cushion which whilst it does it's job quite well, it's a pfaff to put on & get the pressure right and even when the right pressure it always feels just a bit to wiggly & you can feel it moving under your bum; so, I've been thinking about buying one of the Cool Cover seat covers instead.

Has anyone got a direct comparison between the two, feel one was noticeable better than the other or other feedback. AND, does anyone have one they want to sell (ideally rider seat & UK only). The cover Cool Covers website says the one that fits my '18 R1250RT is the same unit that's fitted all liquid cooled 1200 RT's since 2014.

I purchased my copy of the Cool cover(front and Rear) from Temu. It's not a universal cover but meant for the RT. Fit is perfect but you do need to really stretch the front. For £10 I would recommend it. I keeps my meat and two veg cool in the summer as I can feel the cool air coming up from it. Not good in the winter.

I see them, £12.98 now but still one hell of a lot cheaper that the well know brand. How thick are they? What I mean is do raise the overall seating height or do they compress?

[Doctor T]

The extra height is 5 mm to 8mm. Due to the 3D matrix design it doesn't seem to compress. Despite this I find the cover very comfortable. Last year I rode to South Devon with only 2 stops and unlike the standard seat I suffered no bum burn.

I see one on there for £12.98 but the pictures are for a LC seat.
Are they sufficiently generic to fit both? Is it just the front seat cover?

I've got to pay £70 for a cool cover as no one else does a cover for a sargent seat

That's the same one I bought for my 07. Price seems to have gone up a bit in price since I purchased mine.

Slightly cheaper on AE.

I used one whilst riding in the Canaries last year and it was excellent. Not sure we get enough warm weather here for it to be beneficial.
