Sheepskin Gel Pads Let You Ride Longer

Sitting on a seat for hours can be a pain, as those who ride motorcycles and horses know well. Sometimes using these modes of transportation - as well as canoes or kayaks, four-wheelers, or snowmobiles - is a necessity, but usually it's done for pleasure. To put the pleasure back into long journeys, try sheepskin gel pads. Check online for accessories designed to remind you what real comfort feels like.

The combination of genuine sheepskin and semi-solid gel - not to mention incorporated memory foam - can mean the difference between pure pleasure and wishing you were home on the couch. Check these cushions out; there's bound to be the perfect size and shape to fit the vehicle that carries you where you want to go.

Sheepskin is very attractive, but it's value goes far beyond appearance. Research has found natural fibers to be superior to synthetics in some ways. They 'breathe', which means they allow air to flow through the material. This promotes rider comfort and also wicks away moisture. Wool fibers can absorb a lot of dampness before they feel wet to the touch. Sheepskin won't stay flattened by pressure but springs back into shape, and it stays cool in summer heat.

Designed to absorb shock and vibration, gels also help distribute weight evenly without bottoming out, which can cause 'hot spots' or pressure sores. It's this weight-distribution that helps prevent that numbness that can afflict people after a few hours of sitting. Find pads guaranteed not to harden, crack, freeze, melt, or leak. Some manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on their gel-pads.

When a gel-pad is combined with memory foam - not layered with it but actually made as one unit - the cushioning effect is heightened. The foam will conform to the shape of the user for maximum comfort and prevention of pressure-point soreness. Long-distance riders call soreness 'hot spots' and know the importance of avoiding them.

Half an inch of semi-solid gel molded with memory foam and covered with genuine sheepskin makes a cushion that works and lasts. You'll find them in different shapes and sizes to fit a variety of vehicles and riders. The cut-out cushions are designed to help protect the tailbone by relieving pressure in this area. Many riders find that this helps their backs, as well.

Think that a seat cushion can't do all this? Well, find a manufacturer that's willing to prove it to you with a money-back trial period. This kind of fanny protection can help you keep on going, whether it's cross-country on your bike or all the way to the sea in a kayak.

Go online and look at the options available in seat cushions that are both functional and attractive. Straps make secure installation and removal easy. Rubberized bottoms keep the pad from sliding around or slipping sideways. These pads are designed to give you exactly what you need to ride in comfort no matter if you're going ten miles or three thousand.
