I am a marathoner. Some products like SeatShield are designed to put on car seats to protect them from sweat after a workout. If you have tried one of these with a Model S, I'm curious to hear how well it works.

While not a stylistic solution, after exercising, I use a large bath towel to temporarily cover the front seat. I tied off one end of the towel to make a loop that slides over the headrest, and then drape the towel over the back and the bottom of the seat so the towel is between me and the seat.
I had looked at buying other seat covers - but this turned out to be a simple and considerably less expensive solution - that takes only a few seconds to install and remove - and works fine for the small percentage of time that I want to protect the seats.
And if/when the towels need cleaning - they're very easy to clean...

Thanks, I know that a towel is a common DIY solution, but if I understand correctly, the commercial products have a waterproof back that completely prevents sweat from getting to the upholstery. This makes them seem a bit better.

I play quite a bit of tennis and use these Amazon.com: Bergan Deluxe Poncho Seat Protector, Gray: Pet Supplies because they are quick in and out and machine washable. Would be nice to also have a seat belt protector. I end up carrying towels to put between me and the seat belt too.
I do lots of stuff that require this sort of thing. I normally take off my shirt, and sit on a towel.
And about 12 years ago my dad showed me these towels with a slit cut into them. And the hole was crudely sewn to prevent unraveling. They slip over a headrest and keep the towel in place. They look atrocious, but are very very useful.

I have the exact same questions.
I am a pretty active person (running, tennis, gym, soccer, tough mudder, etc.) and I just want something temporary and removable. I have just been using a trashbag and a towel but they are clumsy to use and keep in place. These look like a good solution but they also seem to be a more "permanent" solution.
I didn't pay extra for the leather to just cover it up

After a quick search I found this guy

I may give it a shot as it seems to be exactly what I am looking for.

I just ordered a couple of these. We'll see how it goes. Amazon.com: Aries SD3142-01 Grey Universal Defender Front Seat Cover: Automotive

Thanks. I was concerned about that in my search and ruled out several full covers for that reason. I believe these are open on the sides. They can be "installed" in 5 seconds and are really meant for use after physical activity or when my clothes are dirty. Hopefully better than using a towel.
