Based off of the picture I was hoping it would be waterproof faux leather, but it's canvas so don't get it wet. Still looks cool though. Previous seat was a one piece seat/post combo, so the kit with seat and separate post was essential. 4 stars cuz if it gets wet my cheeks will too and ain't nobody got time for wet cheeks. Pic shows water test soaked into canvas to prove I speak the truth and nothing wet butt the truth, so help me God.
