If you are a backhoe operator tired of uncomfortable seats, consider that when medical researchers report on the best padding available for increased comfort and reduced stress, they are referring to sheepskin.

As a backhoe operator, your day is spent sitting on a vibrating seat that rocks back and forth causing friction, and in extremely cold, hot, or humid environments. For you, there are many advantages of sheepskin seat covers for your JCB backhoe.

One of the advantages of sheepskin seat covers for your JCB backhoe is the padding provided by the soft, high-density, springy wool fibers in natural sheepskin. As your backhoe vibrates and bounces, these fibers redistribute your weight over a larger surface area than do other materials, much like tiny springs.

Another of the advantages of sheepskin seat covers for your JCB backhoe is temperature regulation. On chilly days, the fleece keeps the cold air away from your skin. On hot days, you remain cooler as air circulates between the sheepskin fibers. The sheepskin will also draw perspiration away from your skin and into its fibers, keeping you dry. In fact, sheepskin can hold between 30 and 36 percent of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp to the touch.

You will find no better combination of comfort and durability. The sheepskin's treated leather backing blocks fluids and resists damage. Just wash your sheepskin seat cover with soap that includes lanolin-sheepskin's natural oil-to keep your backhoe sheepskin seat cover in great shape for years.
