Default seat cover for rain?

I have a leather saddle on my commute bike,
and nowhere (under cover) at work to store it :-(

I like my saddle, and would like
to both keep it, and keep it in good condition.

I presently use the hallowed technique
of a carrier bag, tied under the seat by its
handles.

This works OK, but the carrier bags only
last around 2-3 weeks, before the handles fall
off.

In any case, it's never very secure, and the bag
has come off in high winds.

Does any have a recommendation for
a better leather-seat-rain-protector?

In my mind I'm half seeing something "drawstringy"
that encloses the saddle (as opposed
to the carrier bag which just kind of sits there)

Problem is that anything drawstrinny is likely to be fabric that may not be
waterproof or if it is costs too buch.

Why not get an old rain coat (cogoul) and knock something up.

You could also gets a re-usable cable tie and continue to use the carrier.
