Review on Enhance Your Driving with the Pilot SW-68G Faux Leather Universal Fit Steering Wheel Cover in Classy Black and Grey by Muleme Bollinger

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A lifesaver on my commute (and my hands!)

I ride a 2010 Hyundai Sonata with very hard and narrow handlebars. I also have an awkward 45-minute commute on I-95 that, on the worst of days, requires a lot of brake slams and detours by idiots who don't check their blind spots before colliding. I noticed that my arms and shoulders were cramping from gripping the steering wheel so tightly that's when I decided to buy this steering wheel cover. I took the advice of another commenter and left the cover in my car on a hot day to soften it up. him, then put him on my bike. I had no problems and got it up and running in about 30 seconds. The cover gave me a number of great benefits: 1) The full circumference of the steering wheel was much easier to hold which improved my handling and reaction time and eliminated my cramps. The extra padded sections (at around 10 and 2 o'clock) are even more comfortable to grip and are so massive that on the rare occasions I can use the cruise control with just a couple of fingers on those soft sections, that's enough to hold car sustainable. They are also great for relaxing my arms and have taken a lot of stress off my shoulders and forearms as a result. 3) It is much more temperature resistant than a bare handlebar. It's still warm on a hot day, but not as uncomfortably hot as on a bare bike. There was a very slight smell for the first day or so - very faint, less than from a new pair of sneakers - but people who are sensitive to it react, might notice. Also, I love this cover and if for some reason I can't get it off the steering wheel when I get my new car, I'll be right back to buy another one.
