| Re: keeping a leather saddle dry
I've been using a grocery bag (actually a bunch of them) for a long time on
my two Brooks saddles. Works fine, cost is hard to beat.
I've found that if the saddle is properly treated with Proofide a small
amount of moisture won't affect it. You could probably just ride the
bike/saddle as is for 11 miles if you couldn't find or happened to lose the
plastic bag.
