Can I make a slick saddle sticky?
 

I bought a Corbin saddle, but it is the leather kind (not the newer gripper style) so the leather is very slick. Anyone got any ideas to make it not as slick? I obviously don't want to ruin a 400 dollar seat (although I got it for 250) I thought of buffing it with sandpaper and making it nubuck, but that may ruin it's weatherization. Any ideas?

Think about it the other way; leave your saddle as it is and get some grippy material sewn to the seat of your riding pants.

Most MX or Enduro pants have a patch of leather or fake leather in the crotch and arse area to help with grip.

you can buy "sticky" or "grippy" rubber material ( looks a little like lace) in beige, black and white. it is available for about A DOLLAR OR TWO A ROLL
I think it is also used to stop rugs from slipping. put some of that ion your seat and you will stick like anything!:thumbup1:

I have never tried it, on a seat, but surfers use "sexwax" for added friction on their boards.
Wax is used for Belstaff water proof jackets so it might even improve your seat too.

Any seat builder will be able to change the cover on your seat !! Loads of materials available.
