I have a pair of seats I fitted - not sure on the brand. Fairly standard comfy fake leathery type. I'm not on the road yet but it occured to me that maybe in a car with no weather gear I should be swapping them for something more utiltarian. I don't mind a wet bum but don't want them going rotten when I get caught in the rain.

I've sat in fibreglass seats with no more than neoprene sheet as padding (really for non-slip properties) and they were extremely comfortable. Far more than I expected!

My fibreglass seats are very comfy, travelling the 250 miles from Lancaster to near Heathrow wasn't a problem at all. They don't have have any padding either. I bought them from a member here, Triton. Here is the website.

Only problem is if it does rain, the 'bucket' part of bucket seats lives up to its name.

I wouldn't worry about it. They will get wet and dry out. Replace what you have if they go bad, unless you haven't fitted yet and you are thinking the bolt holes/rails will be different.

Mine are foamy vinal covered and have been fine.

I also have the fibreglass ones (from Mk) very surprisingly comfy!

I had to drill a small hole in the bottom though, which solves the 'bucket' issue in the wet

weight saving!
