"Gripper"? seat covers?

[Grizzlypeg]

What do they mean by a "Gripper" seat cover? Some grippy surface texture?

[rdlsz24]

Yeah not as slick as smooth vinyl so your pants grip it better

I know on my snowmobile, I actually wish the seat cover was slipprier. I find it hard to shift around. Must be my jacket and vinly stick like glue.

I'm not a fan... I like the normal slipperyness

Depends on if your trike scares the pooh out of you or not... (grease factor) I dont care for them myself...

I'm inclined towards not wanting anything grippier than stock. Unfortunately when I do a search on ebay for 200x seat covers, the one's that show up seem to be "Gripper" covers. I'd like a blue one that says 200x on it.

They are just a more rigid approach to staying on the seat, painful if you hit the front or rear brakes hard and you move forward, and the seat "grips". And not in a good way, believe me.
It grips other things and HURTS bad. I couldnt walk correctly for a week.
I prefer stock or vinyl type, but Grippers have their advantages. They seem to be a bit more resilient.

I definitely don't like gripper seat covers. At best, they slow your transition time from side-to-side, making necessary position changes slower and more difficult if you ride fast or aggressive.

On a machine that's generally ridden slower and less extreme, I guess it wouldn't matter much.

I actually Armor All mine.

my 2c Gripper seats are more suited for Dirt Bikes the narrow seat and large amount of whoops the gripper seat helps you hold on better! hell some of my friends use grip tape on the sides of their bikes to so they can squeeze with there legs to hold on!
