Materials from Which Seat Covers Are Made

More often, you may find seat covers for your vehicle of such materials as leather, cloth, camo, sheepskin, and towel. There are motorists who prefer leather to all materials. It's prestigious, stylish, and luxury but it's too hot in summer, and it's cold in winter. A compromise, but a useful solution is cloaks on the seats.
There is a tendency of growing number of drivers who prefer cases made of premium natural materials (cotton, linen, wool). It is believed that such a fabric creates an environmentally friendly microclimate in the car's interior. To put it mildly, it's not entirely accurate. Judge for yourself - most interior decoration materials are wholly synthetic. The automotive covers of natural materials, in contrast to all the others, provide free air circulation when the driver comes into contact with the seat, absorb moisture and are satisfying to the touch.
