When the weather turns inclement I resort to waterproof over-trousers or textile trousers to stay dry. The biggest downside with these is the slipping around on the seat. Whether wet or dry, I kept finding myself sliding forward every time I brake or sharply cut the throttle. Being fairly tall, I sit a little way back from the tank on my Fazer to remain comfortable and stop my legs from getting too cramped up on the pegs. No matter how much I grip the tank with my legs when wearing textiles I just slide forward and down right up against the tank and then indistinctly grip the bars really tight. I feel unstable and my tense grip on the bars is detrimental to my riding, especially in the wet. Perched close against the tank, my legs feel squashed and uncomfortable on the rear brake and gears.
Meet the Triboseat, a super grippy cover for your bike seat. Triboseat predominantly sells bike-specific seat covers to help your pillion remain still, preventing them from sliding into the back of you. However, they also sell The Rider, a generically shaped cover to keep the rider planted on their seat. Sounds like exactly what I need.
Definitely liking this Hi-Vis!
