    Sturgis?

    Sheepskin is GREAT for cold or hot weather ! In hot weather , rather than your bottom getting irritated by sweat on a plastic seat, the sheep skin allows airflow . It was great going through 150 miles of the Mohave Dessert in California . If it rains , you just roll it up and put it into storage...
