Question Looking for a Temporary Seat Cover

Do any of you ever use a temporary seat cover after cycling, golf, tennis, etc. when you're all sweaty and don't want to get your leather seats dirty?

I play a lot of golf, and the days when I don't play I practice. Many days during the year it's so hot that I don't have a dry thread on and soaking wet with sweat. I don't want to sit on my seats when I'm all sweaty. I would prefer to have a temporary seat cover that I can quickly put on the driver's seat instead of throwing an ill-fitting towel over the seat.

I have found this temporary seat cover, which looks like it might meet my needs.

Anyone else have a similar need with a better idea?

How about watch golf on TV or play miniture golf? Lol Just Kidding. Why dont you just turn on the seat cooling feature it will blow cool air and help you stop sweating and dry off the sweat from the seats.

Also note that on the GS Analine leather they have a urathane coating to minimize wear and sweat absorption. Any leather cleaner and conditioner will do wonders for your seats.

There are times when I get into the car that I'm pretty much soaking wet, especially when the summertime temperature is 100 degree or higher here in Dallas. Wet clothing is simply not going to dry very quickly even when the A/C is on maximum and seat cooling is turned On. With my other cars I always just throw a large bath towel over the seat to sit on, but I got to thinking about having a dedicated seat cover I could use when the conditions call for it.

It gets hot out there having fun!

Just use a towel or something if you really care - easier to deal with/clean...

The one you linked to looks great, for $40 why not?

I used to always use a towel or something stuffed under the headrests when driving back from the pool at the club, never stayed up and they just get damp and push that dampness onto the seat.

This is the one I use. Easy on, easy off. I believe it came from carid.com. It's like a large towel but hangs over the head rest.

It was carid.com. Just checked. It's under the seat armour section after you type the make and model. $37.95. Great for a quick cover when you need it!

That looks nice and it doesn't cover the side airbag. Is the price for 1 or a pair?

Bit expensive for 1 but looks nice and neat especially with the Lexus logo!

👍 on the 6 dollars off! If I order again, I'll keep that in mind.
