I've had the Roadsofa covered in velour for about 2500 miles. I have no complaints about it. The fit isn't as exact as the stock seat, but I feel it's acceptable. The gel does have a break in period, although Travelcade says it's shape never changes. One thing about the gel, it retains heat for a LONG time. I've learned to throw a white towel over the seat if I'm parking in the sun for any period of time.
