Condensation on bike seat – preventable?
-
uh uh uh i used to keep a chamois cloth, which is really absorbent… That is the only timing i had ‘coz other products used to degrade the leather seat and while braking or steep leaning, i kinda used to slide off the seat ‘coz the products made it slippery…. i also covered my bike, especially the seats to prevent this…

yeah chamois worked just fine for me but everything good has its -ve side: it would somewhat leave little tiny not remarkable bits of wire/tissue like stuff… well all cloth does that… and i would advise not to use any products on the seat, except for leather treating products and these also are slippery but i used to apply the product when no rides were intended that day…

Solomolo RiderMink Oil comes to mind. The kind you use for boots to keep water out. Shouldn’t make the seat slippery if you rub it in well enough. You can also get a tin of Kiwi Outdoor Wet Pruf. It’s a paste that rubs into leather and seals out water while allowing leather to breathe. Hope that helps.
