Six months after it started keeping the steering wheel cool in the summer and not freezing in the winter, half of the cover's 10 or so patch-work-pieces of real sheepskin is wearing thin from use, so within a year, it will all be thinner than the luxurious feel it had when first placed on the steering wheel. But at this price, you could just plan to replace it every year-or-two to continue to enjoy how great it feels in those first 3 or 4 months. I drive about 8,000 to 10,000 miles a year.
I love the cover. It keeps my hands warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This is the second cover I have had.
although I am not totally convinced that this is entirely genuine sheepskin, (the inside feels wrong) it fits fine, feels comfortable, and does not slip. I had no difficulty putting it on my steering wheel, and it really feels better on my hands as I drive.
This cover feels very soft and furry, and brings back memories of petting a real lamb. I don't know if this is true for all, but mine came with a very pleasing scent. For the past few days, I've been enjoying the natural feel of this more than my old neoprene cover.The only downside is that since it's especially thick, the wheel becomes quite bulky, and is not suited for people with small hands or like to fully grip their steering wheels. For that it loses 1 star.
In fact, it's so soft and cushy, it makes it downright fun to grip the steering wheel. Even on the hottest day (and it's routinely over 100 F here in the summer), the wool is warm, but not burning.
The elastic has loosened, causing me to constantly readjust it around the wheel, and it constantly throws off lint, making my dashboard very linty and dusty. I'm now looking for an alternative.
Here's an update: I liked this product at first, but after 6 months of use, I'm less happy with it. This one fills the bill.
A shame, really. I need a steering wheel cover that protects me from the burning heat of the desert sun and provides a good surface for gripping.
I was a little afraid that it wouldn't provide me with a good grip, but have no fear. Wish I'd gotten it in the gray color, though.
