Thanks to my buddy Jon’s recommendation on the Airhawk seat for motorcycles by the ROHO Group. When planning our upcoming rides, I knew we needed to get something for our butts - especially for my wife who’s little butt goes south after about an hour’s ride. Jon has taken numerous LONG bike trips - much longer than some of our planned trips - and swears by Airhawk.

The seat pad is air bladders (a little over an inch square), inflated very low (to just get your butt above the seat), with a cloth case that has a sticky bottom (can also use the included straps to hold it down, but I don’t find them necessary) and a top that circulates air freely. Hey, a sweaty butt isn’t all that comfortable either. It is seriously heavy duty and reports are that it has a very long life.

Sharlet and I have found them to work great and highly recommend them for longer rides.

You can check out the [1] Airhawk  systems on their site, but it doesn’t hurt to browse around; you may be able to get better pricing on eBay or with other retailers.

Note that they [2] also make similar products for trucks, office chairs, and healthcare.
