    Whats the best seat cover. Mine is way too slippery. I have always used the rubberized grippers but some of the ribbed covers look nice. Cam.

    Simple answer, just stand up. Seriously I think the gripper material is better than ribbed.

    I've got a Guts gripper and it works pretty well for me. I haven't tried the ribbed yet, but know lots of people who really like them. The Seat Concepts on my 449 is sort of a smooth/grip combo and is easy to slide on

    On super steep hill it is hard not to slide off the back. Cam.

    the X-Seat is pretty good, will make you stand a lot or suffer severe monkey butt. Grips quite well for the sitting times.

    I ended up with a ribbed gripper. Go figure. Can't really try it until the snow melts but it LOOKs good. Cam.
