Saddle Cover

[Jeff Z]

Can anyone recommend a waterproof saddle cover for my B17 that won't blow off or shred when I transport on the car? Hoping for some real-life success stories or cautionary tales.

Randi Jo!

I second that. I have been using the waxed canvas since December and it is holding up well.

Jandd makes covers in two sizes that are pretty sturdy.

I thirdly recommend Randi Jo Fabrications out of Oregon. 

I bought one for my Brooks B67S saddle in the navy color to go with my RBW blue Clem five years ago. It has a sewn in flap that covers the underside of my saddle with snaps ? of which I don't use, because I have full fenders. Outstanding design !! It hasn't failed me yet.

Another vote for Randi Jo Fab. I’ve hand mine on my commuter for a few years now, don’t take it off, and it still looks/works great.

Sounds like Randi Jo are the way to go, but for options sake: I use cheap nylon, cinch-up seat covers off amazon all the time when transporting on bike racks.

They’ve done the job in lots of sun, road debris and rain storms, and I don’t have to worry too much if I misplace them.

I worried that the silver inside layer might rub off onto the seat, but it hasn’t yet after a fair amount of use.

Another Randi Jo fan here. Their quality and craftsmanship is outstanding!

I have Randi Jo covers for a Berthoud Aravis, a Berthoud Aspin, a Berthoud Mente, a Brooks B17, and a Brooks B67.
Needless to say, I’m a fan of everything Randi Jo makes. Here’s a good testimonial: I travel from Kentucky to Florida 4-5 times a year. 13 hour drive one-way, straight down I-75. I suit mine and my wife’s saddles up with our RJ covers during each trip, and they’ve always remained steadfast and reliable every trip. And our saddles stay dry thanks to the full coverage her covers provide.

I have Randi Jo saddle covers on 5 bikes (+ 2 more of my daughter's bikes)

Waiting for one on the 6th bike (green waxed canvas), but her wait list is currently 8 weeks (borrowed grey from other bike works for now)

[Chris Halasz]

Ditto Randi Jo on my B68

[Jeff Z]

There seems to be a consensus. Thanks everyone!

Yep. With those amazon ones the silver rubs off on Brooks leather if you ride with it on. I'm glad it happened to my second favorite Brooks. Still has silver on it since last summer. I replaced it with the Brooks cover Riv sells. Half the price of Randi Jo. No complaints.
