"Hello,
I have bought a SelleSMP Forma colored.Is it okay to use a rain cover for this saddle to protect the microfiber?
The saddle cover is used in the house against dust and some heat from the heating sistem also from the moisture that result from drying some clothes in that area.
For cleaning can I use baby wipes or only " 3 in 1 saddle wipe" ?
Thank you."
This was the e-mail that I've send to the manufacturer SelleSMP but I didn't received any information.Does anyone have any information about maintenance of this type of saddle?
Leaving the bike in the area that is sometimes hot due to the heating system or moisture caused by drying some clothes create problems? Does an air dehumidifier crack the microfiber as the leather? Does a saddle cover protect from this problems or create aditional ones?
Thank you for any ideas.This is my first microfiber saddle from Sellesmp.I choose a colored saddle because I was thinking that the leather saddle is high maintenance.

I think only the black saddles are actual leather which I dont care for as they are very grippy. The microfiber is pretty tough and I have been using a silicone car wash liquid that you add water too. I use any silicone based lube or wash on it with no issues but really they need little for maintenance.
