- LONG DISTANCE COMFORT: The silicone cover will give you extra comfort over the long distance rows. You will feel a big difference after your 10k row compared to rowing with only the original seat. If you are looking for a thick cushion to make your short row more enjoyable, this is not the right product for you.
- STYLISH AND BRINGS YOUR ROWER TO LIFE: Not only does this seat cover increase comfort on your long rows, but it also brightens up your rower. The seat cover comes in three colors: yellow, pink, and black.
- MOLDED TO FIT OVER CONCEPT 2 SEAT: To create this product, we took a 3D scan of the Concept 2 rowing machine seat. This enables us to make a product that is the exact shape as the seat. It slides over from the top down. Once in place, it is like the silicone is the only seat and will not move when you are rowing.
- 100% SILICONE: The seat cover is made of 100% silicone. This means it is malleable and not fragile. The silicone gives the seat a grippy texture, which is very helpful during your long rows. It is also effortless to clean with a little bit of water and soap.

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.

So when you sit on this your immediate thought is that it’s not gonna work. Don’t listen to that thought. Punch in a10k and start rowing.
This seat doesn’t feel much softer when you sit on it. However as you row you’ll notice that you don’t fatigue at 25 minutes. It stays comfortable. By the end as finish your row you noticed no difference when sitting but you realize you aren’t sore. This seat works.
I like it because it doesn’t move. It doesn’t change your rowing angle. It doesn’t mess with your stroke.
In the end you feel tired from the row. But not from the seat.
This is a subtle change that makes all the difference.
I’ve done at least 6 long rows since I got this. Worries every time.
I’d buy again.

I have only put about 100,000 meters on it; But so far it wears well is comfortable and fits very well to the seat. It’s not tight to put on it just lays on it and I take it off after every workout. I like it. Let’s see how it wears over time.

Muy bine hecho y de muy buen material, funciona perfecto, evita que te resbales en el asiento mientras remas. Se adapta perfecto al asiento de la Concept2

Not a huge amount of padding, but the silicone cover has a little more give, which works well in conjunction with the modest sponginess of the default rower seat. If you’re bonier in that area, this will work well to let you rest on your laurels without groaning as you stand up.
The default seat on the rower is quite smooth. The silicone seat cover will provide more grip. If you ever felt like you have slipped out of place midway through a workout, this will rectify the issue.

First off right out of the package there is a lot of static. Secondly this is a slip cover that is not as tight as it should be, but also it’s not going to fall off. I was expecting a little bit more of a softer cushion gel like substance; (similar to the feel of a wrist, supported mouse ) but instead it’s no different than sitting on the seat itself

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.

I saw this on Dark Horse Rowing YT channel. I would’ve supported and bought through the link but living in Canada, it only made sense to buy here with free shipping.
As the online review states, it takes maybe a 5-10% edge off from direct pressure on the seat. I’d very much agree but also add that the relief is significant. You don’t feel like you’re on a sinking gel pad at all, but at the end of a 30 minute row I feel so much better at the end then I had before I used the seat cover.
Terrific purchase.

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.

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.
