Silicone Rowing Machine Seat Cover Compatible with Concept 2 Rowing Machine, Alternative to Rowing Machine Cushion, Rowing Machine Accessories

I couldn't find any info on the thickness of this silicone cover, so I bought it and measured it. It's 1/4" thick all around. Obviously this isn't going to provide a large amount of cushion/give, but the compressibility of the silicone does take some of the pressure off your sit bones compared to the rock hard Concept2 seat. I think this is a great option for people looking to row mostly "natural" but get some sit bone relief on longer rows. I'd rate the cover as more comfortable and effective than a folded over hand towel, which I survived a marathon row on. I've cycled for years before getting the rower, so I'm used to sitting for long periods during workouts but I think the hip hinge movement in the rowing stroke was causing my sit bones to grind into the seat. For reference I am 6 feet tall and 175 pounds and this cover was just what I needed. As already mentioned in the other reviews, the product photo for the yellow color is incorrect. However I really like the yellow as received, it matches the color of the Concept2 logo and accents very well. The color match and fit is so good you'd think this came on the rower. I was a bit apprehensive about the cost of this item, however this is the only product like it on the market; the silicone is the closest you will get to a "gel seat" on the Concept2. It should hold up well over time unlike those memory foam cushions which always flatten out. After receiving and rowing with this Vapor Fitness cover I definitely find that it was a worthwhile purchase.

This cover fits well on my Concept 2 seat. It's a little pricey but much more comfortable than the bare plastic seat. I haven't tried any others so I can't compare, but It was worth the cost for me at $50.

Fits perfectly and easy to install on the seat of my concept2 Rowing machine.

I was torn on buying the Concept 2 because the seat is terrible, for me it makes the rower unusable. I decided I could make some sort of pad work, and went with this one. Its actually awesome. Its about 1/4 inch of solid dense silicone and fits perfectly over the seat. It has enough room to fit some extra padding under it. I had an old yoga mat 5mm thick and was able to fit two layers under the seat with plenty of room to fit securely over the rower hard plastic seat. In total I added almost 1/2 inch of extra padding. I cut the yoga mat into 12 x 9.5 inch sections and they fit perfectly. For the price, I wish the manufacturer would provide an extra pad like like the pads I added. But its a great addition and for me makes all the difference between a rower that will collect dust and one that will take me 6000 meters 4 or 5 times a week. It looks great on the rower. Definitely recommend it. I give it 4 stars because for the price, they could throw in an extra optional pad. And one other note, its yellow not the green color as it looks on the vendor website.

good seat cushion but not enough softness to stop pain from the bottom. non slippary. improves the ove all feel but fails short of completely removing the pain.

Drops over the seat properly, looks great

I guess it is just a cover not really a pad, but it looks and fits well and offers some padding, like 15% of what a real pad would feel like.

Purchased this as a cover for the concept 2 seat. It’s made of a silicone material and provides just enough extra cushion on the seat to ease the pain you get on longer sessions. I love how it is molded to the seat and very easy to take on on off. The color matches the concept 2 decals on the machine too. For the price I feel this is a good addition for your concept 2 rower. It’s made of quality materials, easy/quick to install, and feels like it was made for this machine.

assez déçu n'ajoute rien au confort

Aucun intérêt de pietre qualitee ..

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?

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

I have to say I was impressed with this item. It is hefty in weight, fits perfectly on the seat and your butt does not slide around with this in place. It is not a cushion but it makes long rowing sessions more comfortable. You can generate more leg power when you’re firmly in place. I have already recommended it to my friends who own rowers. Also love the bright fuschia colour!
