Gell Seat Pad or Sheep?

[AndyB]

Going to Normandy next week and find the standard seat a bit on the hard side after an hour. Have not got time to get the seat reappolstered, but have thought about getting a gell pad. Some seem to recommend a hide off of one of our wooley friends. What do you think should I buy the sheep or get a strap on gell pad?

I've tried a gel pad. About as comfy as sitting on a paving slab. Try a sheepskin - others swear by them.

Forget the gel pad - very expensive and a waste of money. Several threads in this forum on the advantages of sheepskin. Some of them relate to riding a bike...

No choice.

Ordered myself a sheepskin Butpad from Alaska Leather this evening. Dollar rate looks pretty good $69.95 including shipping - thats about £40 Outstanding value

Just to clarify, you actually don't need to buy a whole sheep, just the skin with attached wooly bit.

Thats blown it with the wife I was going to keep it on the lawn in between rides and save her mowing the grass.
