My tailbone would get sore sometimes using my Concept 2 rower. This cushion provides just enough padding to reduce the soreness in my tailbone for prolonged rowing sessions.

Good fit on the Concept 2 rower seat. I thought it might be a bit thicker, so it does not feel don't. But it keeps me from getting skin burn on my backside. So overall I am quite pleased.

This is a lightweight silicon seat cover. Adds about as much cushion as a yoga mat. For me, that’s all I needed as I am adding distance and getting sore in the behind. Fits perfectly on the Concept 2 seat, doesn’t move, doesn’t change your mechanics, hardly know it’s there. Flexible, lightweight, and easy to clean. Former collegiate rower on pace for 1M meters this year and using on a C2 model D. Good for what it is but some people may want more cushion.

This cushion admittedly fits well over the Concept 2 seat but in my opinion does not provide much cushion. I am returning this for another memory foam option.

Wow, what a difference this cushion makes! For years I've been trying to build up distance only to be restricted by how much feeling I start loosing in my butt after about 30 min due to the hard seat. First long distance row after adding this cover and I easily made it significantly longer with significantly less discomfort. And I'm noticing that recovery seems to be greatly reduced in my case as well. No, it doesn't remove all discomfort (rowing is still tough) but I would be concerned that a more cushioned seat would further reduce blood flow to the legs. I wish I would not have waited so long for this addition to my workouts.

I really enjoy exercising on this rower. Well made, was fairly easy to put together with quite minimal assembly. Give you the feeling of rowing pretty well. The seat is not very comfortable, sturdy but hard. Also only gave 4 stars as it is very low to the floor. As I'm in my 80's, I find it difficult to get up from it. A little more height would be helpful. Easy to adjust for pull. lots of info on the meter. All in all, a good 20 minute row has really been enjoyable and helped me be more flexible.

Ottimo prodotto, calza alla perfezione alla seduta dei rower Concept2.Forse irrigidisce un minimo la seduta ma niente di trascendentale.Lo uso quotidianamente. Impeccabile.

This cover really stuck out to me for it’s sharp color. Overall the cover is not a comfort pad, I had purchased a hornet pad previously. The hornet pad was comfortable but it would soak up sweat and become gross. This vapor fitness cover is perfect, it fits OVER the hornet pad and repels any sweat and it’s easy to clean. My only complaint is that the cover doesn’t fit tightly enough for when the erg is stored vertically and falls off. I wish the cover had either a strap or a clip to lock it onto the seat when stored vertically. Other than that it’s so freaking sweet on the color the retention on the seat when stored vertically is more of just an annoyance. But the hornet pad for comfort then this to protect the pad and to add a pop of color.

I don’t have issues with the Concept 2’s original seat, guess I have the right amount of cushion back there. I saw this cover on Dark Horse rowings YouTube channel and I really liked the color. I mainly got it for aesthetic purposes and was debating between the yellow and pink colors, but decided to go with the yellow as I felt it had more of an upbeat energy to it. This is more of a highlighter yellow than a neon green as it looks like in the ad picture. It looks really nice on the machine, and if you watch the video on DH rowing he mentioned that he thought it took the edge off of the feel of the seat and had about a 5-10% increase in comfort- I would agree with this opinion. I did an hour of rowing this morning and my butt is a-ok. I love the pop of color it gives the machine to liven it up a bit. I had this on my wishlist for a while debating on getting it, as I think $50 is a little steep for a cover, but I splurged and I’m happy with my purchase.If you are looking for some major cushion improvements, then you may be disappointed with this cover, as it is just a cover, though it does provide a small amount of added comfort. You could always get this for the color and also another cushion for additional padding if needed. Overall, I’m really satisfied with this cover.

Thought long and hard before giving a five star value for money rating then decided if I can row for longer and be free from discomfort then it's worth every penny. Still the dearest 'sporty' thing I've ever bought apart from the rowing machine - but worth it if i don't have to skip a day because I've got a sore bum.What do I like about it? Well it is a vivid lime green that I happen to like, it fits the seat beautifully, it doesn't slip and it makes a difference. There's not much more to say about the seat really especially as when I'm rowing I don't really notice that it's there. I used it for a couple of 5k rows then had a few weeks break 'coz the other half wants to redecorate. Just started again today with a gentle 20 minutes row. No discomfort at all. I plan to try a longer row in a week or so and if I remember I'll update this review.The only niggle I have is that it did not come with instructions. You don't need any instructions to fit it - that's pretty obvious, but it's going to need cleaning at some point. Can I put it in the washing machine? Are there any household cleaning fluids I should use/avoid?

This fits perfectly on the Concept 2 rowing seat, just drop it on and start rowing! It NEVER slides and saves my butt from pain on long rows. I do 10K - 12.5K meter daily and without this pad I was getting a sore butt. This feels like a quality product and has not shown any signs of wear and tear.I was tempted to deduct a star or two for the choice of color (hot pink - really?) but, I set my pride aside and have no regrets. It is silicone so I you could probably color it with a marker or something. I left mine as is. Maybe they will produce one in black to match the concept 2 colors one day in the not so effeminate future.
