Title: Seats, leather vs cloth
Post by: FredyCro on March 23, 2022, 04:44
Hi all,

Was just wondering did anybody weighted stock leather vs cloth seats. What was the weight difference?

If I manage to source good cloth ones for a decent price Ill probably swap them for my stock leather ones as I like be being less thrown around in them and they probably weight less the leather ones.

Cheers

Just about to swap my leather for cloth tomorrow, I'll have them side by side, sadly don't have any scales but I can do a calibrated right arm comparison?

Can confirm the cloth seats do feel a good bit lighter, noticeably so!

I don't have the exact numbers, cloth seats are generally lighter than leather seats. So if you prefer a lighter feel and less tossing around, swapping to cloth seats might be a good idea. By the way, if you're into leather products, you should check out https://vonbaer.com/. They have a great selection of leather items.

Cloth seats are nice in the hot summer. If we have any that is 8)
