In short, I think the UltraSport cover is an outstanding product at an outstanding price. It looks good, goes on in seconds, keeps the seat completely dry, is thin enough to fold up and store anywhere in your car and doesn't have to be washed after every use.

This is a quality piece of gear that the Gnome seriously likes. Everyone that exercises and then drives should order one, you won't be disappointed.

No Sweat.
Fact: Breaking a sweat is good for your heart, but not for your car. Fact: You don't have to worry about that anymore. The Waterproof SeatShield is a new, innovative seat cover that's waterproof, odor-resistant and non-absorbent, so you can jump in the car sweaty and climb out worry-free.

Rogue River Sports has produced the patented SeatShield, a car seat cover that's lightweight, fits almost any type of seat, and keeps you dry and comfortable, even after your hottest and longest workout.

You love your car. You also love running, hiking, cycling, kayaking and tennis. But they make you sweat. The SeatShield uses a simple design that allows it to go on quickly, stay in place while you drive, and then comes off instantly when you're done.

One of the unfortunate realities of running are sweaty post-run clothes. To protect your car, the Waterproof SeatShield easily slips onto your seat.
-- Press Review by Running Times
Do your car seats smell like a wet puppy dog after you drive home from a summer run? There's a more elegant solution than sitting on a towel. Rogue River makes a neat and affordable waterproof seat cover that can be put on and taken off in seconds. Rick and I used the SeatShield on our six-day journey so we know it works (and it's machine washable).

The SeatShield shields your car seats from moisture. It protects your car seats from all the odors associated with an active lifestyle, but it also can be thrown in the washer when it gets dirty.

How many times have you sat your perspiration-soaked body in your car, either directly on the seat or on a towel? You would be swimming in sweat, possibly damaging your car seats and leaving a bit of odor as well. Rogue River Sports has solved this problem with an easy-to-use product called SeatShield. I waited until a day when the himidity was over 90% to test the sample Rogue River Sports provided to us. After a 45 minute run, I was drenched and went straight to my car. The SeatShield was unfolded and securely covering the seat in seconds. I sat down and knew instantly that my days of sitting on towels were over. The comfortable new fabric went to work right away, allowing me to not feel as if I were in a sauna on wheels. Because it doesn't stay wet very long, bacteria don't form and the SeatShield remains odor-free. So does your car!

Recently I came across a product that's a godsend for runners who, like me, either like to run in the rain or sweat like a racehorse when summer arrives. It's called the SeatShield, and it's so simple its amazing no thought of it before. What sets the SeatShield apart is it's construction. It's made of multi-layers of materials that are absorbent on top but waterproof underneath, so the moisture is absorbed from your body but never makes it to the car seat. It may be one of the best investments you can make to keep your car's seats dry and smelling new instead of like a locker room.

Why mess with clumsy towels to protect your car's seats from chlorine or sweat after you swim, bike or run? Instead try out Rogue River's Waterproof SeatShield, a fitted seat cover that features a microfiber top layer that wicks away moisture, and a waterproof and breathable middle layer that protects your car seat's fabric.

If you routinely take the car to get to your favorite running trails you know what it's like to climb into the car soaking wet after a workout. The Waterproof SeatShield is a major upgrade from using a beach towel to protect the upholstery and it takes only a minimal investment. The material also resists odors and can be left in the car between workout, and tossed in the washing machine when the time comes to clean it.

A Waterproof SeatShield is the perfect way to protect your car seat after sports, exercise and outdoor activities.
-- Press Review by Florida Sports Magazine - Florida Sports Website
Keep your seats clean from sweat and grime with the SeatShield. You're sweaty after a hard workout, maybe even muddy or sandy. Now you can slip the SeatShield onto your seat and drive home, knowing your seat's protected.

Simply put, this is the best seat cover we've tried. The ITR Review Crew tested the UltraSport SeatShield and recommends it for anyone who wants to keep their vehicle looking, and smelling, nice. The knitted cloth top surface wicks moisture away from you where it can evaporate. The knitted cloth provides a very comfortable feel much like a vehicle's cloth seats, with no plastic feeling that many other seat covers have. The other layers provide protection for your seats.

Summer is HOT! When you run, you sweat, and sweat, and sweat some more. When you are done with your 2 hour long hot run you spend 2 minutes stretching and then get in your car, immediately turning the air conditioner on full blast because you are sweating up a storm and need to get cool as soon as possible. If you are lucky you remember to throw a towel under your bottom before you sit down, and if not, oh well, you're too hot to worry about it. Unfortunately, when you get in your car the next morning you are hit full force with a stench that smells like - well - like a stinky, sweaty runner and it is yukky! The solution is simple. It is called the SeatShield. It is waterproof so your seats are protected and you can sit down dripping wet. I use them and highly recommend them. They are about a million times better that the towels I used to use. They also make wonderful birthday or Christmas presents. It is best to get together with friends and order 3 or 4 or more to save on shipping costs.

I LOVE the UltraSport cover and gave 3 away as gifts and everyone loved it as well. Thank you for the great customer service!

Thank you for the prompt delivery. The SeatShields are great! I'll pass the word on to other runners in the area who definitely need this product.

Thanks for the prompt service -- I appreciate it and I really like the seat cover, it works great!
-- Testimonial by Angie Long
What to do when getting back from fishing? I just discovered waterproof SeatShields. They slip on over the headrests and cover the back of the seat, the seat itself and hang some down from there to protect from wet legs. It takes but a moment to install and they come off just as easily. They're comfortable. The waterproof section is in the middle and sandwiches with a microfiber that can be washed. They're great.

I have ordered before. I love these seat covers. This order is for Christmas presents for running friends and family.

Rogue, I received my two sets of covers, they are spectacular and do the job you say they will. I sweat a lot, and this will keep my wife's car dry.

It has been approx 2-3 weeks since "the gang" received their Logo'd NCR Snail seat covers. Not one negative peep out of 33 people... that is amazing! It is a strong tribute to the quality and usefullness of your covers.
Without doubt word is spreading among our running club, those who missed out are asking when will be ordering again. Those who ordered just one now want another for a second car, a different color or for a family member.
Truly a great response from our "SWEATY" gang..........for your GREAT product.

Eighteen months ago I bought a Seatshield and was so pleased with it that I recommended that our running club, Blue Springs Runners (MO),use them as awards for completing our Winter Series.

After I received one, I suggested your product to my customers via my newsletter last year and again this year.

I ordered the ultrashield about 3 months ago and have found it to be very functional and more comfortable than a towel; smells better too.

I have ordered at least 6 of these so far. They are AWESOME !!

I am a Coach with the Leukemia Foundation Team in Training group and I'm recommending your seatshield after I purchased one. (these 2 are gifts for the mentors that are working with folks getting ready for fall marathons)
-- Testimonial by Howard Mellon
I ordered my Seatshields right before the Great Lakes Relay (GLR) after returning some Cabela's covers that just weren't waterproof or durable enough. GLR is a a 270-mile trail/road running race across Northern Michigan. 10 people run over 3 days, and the 3 chase vehicles become our homes for 14 hours per day, transporting our sweaty, muddy and dusty bodies to each exchange point. We found the Seatshields to be perfect for protecting our new Jeep's seats. They were also handy as blankets for cold, soaked runners and pillows for napping between runs. I was truly amazed that the Seatshields still don't smell after the race. I only wish our running clothes had fared so well! You'll probably be selling a few more sets to people on our team soon. We especially liked how soft they felt on our tired bodies. Thanks for an awesome product!

I saw your advertisement in Fitness Runner magazine and it prompted me to come to your website. I ordered an All Sport Seat Shield thru Jeff Galloway's website about 9 months ago. The product has performed better than I expected, I am very pleased with it. I use it 3 days a week after pumping iron at the gym and on Saturdays after mountain biking with a Camel Back leaves my back very wet and me possibly muddy. It is easy to store, easy to slip on the seat, dries fast, washes up nicely, and keeps my car seat dry, just as advertised. I have recommended them to my friends. One of my best purchases. Just wanted to say Thanks,

I used my UltraSport seat cover this morning after swimming and it worked perfectly. Thank you for a great product.
-- Testimonial by Dennis Cox
I bought a SeatShield years ago at a race expo and it has been fantastic! I haven't raced in a while to replace it, so I am so glad I picked up Runners World and saw your ad! The other one is pretty "run hard and put away wet". :-)
-- Testimonial by Teri Moreno
I'm buying your product because I have a cyclist friend who raves about your seat covers.

I bought an EliteSport to try it out and it is wonderful -- for keeping dog hair (and wet dogs) off my seats. WONDERFUL! Here's an order for 3 more.

I love the first one I bought - I'm ordering another for my wife's car.
-- Testimonial by Steve Koerner
I am really happy about getting EliteSport seat covers. I live in Hawaii and train year around so protecting car seats from post workout sweat, salt from the ocean, dirt, etc. has always been an issue. I have been using towels but these seat covers are much easier to use. I recommended your covers to my friends.
-- Testimonial by Asako Shimazu
I received my seat shield covers yesterday. Thank you! They are just what I needed. I had ordered "sport seat covers" from another company and they s**k. They are like sitting on a nylon tent. Your product is 100% better.
