There's a ton of useful posts on this topic - I wondering if there are
new opinions or changes in design.
My Roach cover withstood 2 yrs of abuse, now it's falling apart at the
seams. To sum up what I've read here:
ROACH
Adequately durable
Handles moisture well
$25
I see on the picture at uni.com that it has a new attachment design
which looks like it is hopefully an improvement over the original
design. Anyone have any experience with the new design?

*Gemcrest Leather*
Rated the most durable, and reviews here seem to back this up.
I'm concerned about how it handles heavy sweating, and other moisture.
Is it more comfortable? Less chafing than the Roach? I've gotten some
bad-ass chafing from my Roach.
$49
Snug fit due (I think) to drawstring design.

Does the new, higher profile design still fit more snugly than the
Roach?
Also, now that I'll be dismantiling the seat, I believe that my air
pillow is history (like it's shredded and turned to dust). Since I'm
going through all this effort, I want to get the best innards too. I
read the John Childs/David Maxfield comments on using a 12" tube with
various foam and gels. Is this still state of the art in seat guts?
All in all I'm leaning toward the Gemcrest, though the Roach served me
well. Anybody have any recent experience with this?
