Rode it from Cody Wyoming to Wichita KS 1100 miles in two days. Afternoons were 100 degrees. The seat cover kept my butt from hot and No monkey butt. Liveved everything except 1). No slit to put back rest in and 2). No color except black. A lighter shade or color would be cooler,due reflecting the sun's rays. It was great overall and its made it hard to slide around the seat, as such, it was safer.
