Customer Testimonials
Buttpad arrived yesterday after a short, 2 business day journey from Alaska to NW Iowa!
Installed it today and took it for an hour and half test run--Miraculous!!
Since 1982 when I overdid a motorcylcle trip, it's been difficult for me to handle more than one hour on any kind of bike. I've tried floorboards, forward controls, highway pegs, beads, gelpads, inflatable seats, etc. Result was always the same: one hour and done.
After my trip today the only reason I put the bike in the barn was because of a business appointment; could have ridden all evening.
Wonderful service, quality product.

Your sheepskin Buttpad is a terrific product! The first thing I did the morning after arriving in Anchorage was to stop in your store and pick up a Buttpad for my Softail Deuce. Needless to say, I sat on it the entire 5500-mile trip around Alaska and back to upstate New York! It gave me a much more comfortable ride—in cold, rain, heat and even some hail—16 days of riding in all! I just ordered a second one for my wife. It was great to meet you all and chat a little, too!

Dear AlaskaLeather,
I ordered a Medium Deluxe pad on Friday morning. Imagine my surprise when lunchtime on Monday the mailman delivered it. Wow! I received it the next business day, Alaska to Texas. Kudos to you for shipping out same day the order placed and to US Post Office for fast transit. The pad itself exceeds my expectations as well. Beautiful soft, thick and evenly sheared sheepskin. Fits my Honda VTX1300S stock seat perfect. Everybody thinks that it is a custom made pad. Very comfortable and big improvement. Forget about Ultimate or Mustang seats, you saved me from wasting $500 on that purchase. Stock seat and Alaska Leather Deluxe pad is the way to go.
Best Regards,

After few months of using your Alaska leather cover on my BMW Gs here in the south of Spain I wish to congratulate for your product. I cross the Spain Mancha with 44º C hot in august, and throughout Andorra country with less than 0º C in the morning. It’s fantastic how my seat was comfortable (with long and long journeys) without inconvenient of he hot and the cold! My order was fast and very well packaged from your office to here at the south of Spain, and is far away, since I have motorcycle, the least investment I did with the most and valuable result with a big quality article! Thanks a lot, your product is excellent and you are a very good professionals! You now have a ambassador with me!

I purchased one of your buttpads early in the spring of this year. My rides usually aren't too lengthy but long enough to get a bit fatigued in the maximus so I went looking for some relief short of purchasing an expensive new seat. I put your pad on my stock seat and really tested it this past weekend by driving over 500 miles in two days while attending a bike rally. We'll the proof was in the pudding....... not once did I think about my maximus. Your buttpad makes a huge difference in my riding comfort for a very reasonable price....... Thank you and keep up the great work! I'll be sure to recommend you guys to whom ever complains about riding comfort. Thanks,
Perry O.
Just wanted to let you know I received the seat pad yesterday, after only ordering it 5 days ago. I put it on right away, and it fits fine. It looks great as well. Thanks for your prompt service, and if I need anything else from your company, you can bet I won't hesitate to order.
Thanks again,
Ron M. Ronan, Mt
I just had to write to you and tell you how pleased I am with the buttpads. I installed the rider pad today before running some errands. Immediately I could tell I was going to be more comfortableon the stock seat of my R1200RT! The natural dark grey color (nearly black) is just gorgeous and agreat match for the bike. Thanks so much for calling and talking meout of my original choice. This is exactly what I needed and I reallyappreciate your effort to insure that I would be happy! It worked! I'm really looking forward to my next long trip. I'm sure it will beridden in great comfort now.

Dear Alaska leather, I received the sheepskin butt pad today. It fits well and feels great! Thanks,

Hey Guys and Girls at Alaska Leather,
I just received the covers for my Road King and my K1200LT and I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the hold down straps were well placed and though out. It took all of about 3 minutes per bike to add this exceptional accessory of comfort. The shipping was great also and almost beat me back home from the beach. I put 37,000 miles on my Kawasaki Voyager on one of these hides and all the miles were comfortable. You know a Corbin seat is good for extremely long rides but not as comfortable as with a sheep skin cover. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter is the best of both worlds.
Thanks for such a quality accessory that allows me to enjoy touring longer than a custom or stock seat.
Larry
I have never had such good service. Ordered it Sat. got it today Mon. 15th. Thank you so much.Now if the weather will improve I'll try it out.Thanks again.
Duane G.
I placed my order on Friday night at about 10:00 pm central time. My butt pad was in my mail box here in Iowa Tuesday when I got home from work. The charcoal colored deluxe large fits my seat perfectly and looks better than any pad I've seen! Very high quality, plush sheep skin. Thank you Alaska Leather for the excellent product and excellent service. Only in America.
Sincerely satisfied,
John
Hi Barb and Jim, I live and ride everyday in Arizona, In Central and Southern AZ, the weather in the summer is hotter than the south side of the sun. In Northern AZ it can go from just plain hot to teeth chattering cold in amatter of miles. On Saturday, Labor Day weekend, I did a 500+ mile roundtrip ride to Tombstone and Bisbee taking the roads less traveled, fifty of which were on a stretch of unimproved road that follows the San Pedroriver south to Benson, AZ. After long hours in the stock saddle of my 2007 BMW R1200GS, the term Monkey Butt hardly described my condition. On Tuesday morning, I ordered the Medium Buttpad Deluxe. I received my new Buttpad on Friday, less than a week after I ordered it. and the color is perfect for my custom desert camo paint job. Tried it out the next dayand rode 300+ miles with no complaints from my butt. What a difference. I am telling everyone I ride with to buy one. Your Buttpad saved my butt.

The first time I used my butt pad, I rode to Atlanta (about 350 miles) in the middle of the summer. All I can say is that the difference in comfort was just amazing. Since that time I have logged more than 50K miles on the pad. Much like my credit card, " I don't leave home without it". My most recent trip took me from Gainesville, Fl, to the furthermost northwest point on the lower 48 states, Cape Trails, Wa. I was gone 31 days and traveled 10200 miles, including a witnessed and veryified "Iron Butt Ride" of 1021 miles in 19 hours. I cound never had done this without the comfort of the pad.
Now about 4 years later, my pad was in need of repair. I contacted Barb at Alaska Leather and the repairs were made without charging me a penny. She was also kind enough to include a new strap to replace the one that was completely worn out. And the best part is that the turn around time was 7 days. I really wish to extend my thanks to Barb and Alaska Leather.
GREAT PRODUCT-GREAT SERVICE!

I recently rode from northwestern Virginia to northeastern Tennessee and back, about 680 miles round trip. About the last 100 miles or so each way I started to feel that familiar pain in the rear I get when I ride for longer distances. Some people would say that the distance I rode was not that long, but I have degenerative disk disease and have had two lower back surgeries. While I can still ride, the distances I can travel in one shot have been drastically cut. I looked into several options to make my seat a little more comfortable on these trips. I saw that several people said that the gel pad pads are okay, but many also said that they seemed to be quite hard. Also, I couldn't afford to dump a lot of money into a new seat. I only need something that will give me a little bit of softness, while allowing some air to get through. This combination would be perfect for me. I saw your ad and gave you a call. The lady I spoke with on the phone recommended the deluxe buttpad and even told me the charcoal pads you have right now had a very dense coat on them. Based on her recommendation, I purchased the buttpad and the backrest pad. I placed my order on Wednesday and it arrived on Saturday. Not bad, Alaska to Virginia in four days. I just tried the pad on my Valkyrie and it felt great. It was extremely soft and gave me a nice amount of cushion. I can't wait to take it on the road and see how it performs. I'll let you know how my first long trip goes, but I look forward to it. In all, you can't beat the type of product you make as far as quality goes and the price won't break the bank either.
Steve R. Front Royal, VA
Thanks a ton Alaska Leather. I used my pad for my 1st long distance ride this weekend on my 2002 Shadow ACE and it was awesome. I road about 700 miles round trip. I don't want to know how I would have felt without one. Now I just need to get one for my wife's seat behind me. Thanks again. This was the best bang for my buck.

To whom it may concern; I just wanted to say how pleased I am with my Alaska Leather Sheep Skin ButtPad. I purchased the "Medium, Deluxe, Black with the attached Nose Strap". As you can see it fit my 2003 Triumph Bonneville, T-100 perfectly and it really softens the ride. If you wish, feel free to use my endorsement and any of the attached photos in your advertisements.

Thanks gang!!!!! I recently placed an order with you and you were all over it. I received my order very promptly and am pleased with my sheepskin pad...I also told the people at the Silver Wing forum how pleased I was.
The first thing I do before buying most products is read the reviews to see how others liked it. The reviews on Alaska Leather are what prompted me to buy sheepskin over wooden beads. I just (last night) finished riding from Bloomington, IL through the Tail of the Dragon(Deal's Gap) to Daytona Beach, FL for Biketroberfest and back. A total of 2,389 miles in 7 days and I used the Deluxe Buttpad for the ride down and back. On day one we rode just over 600 miles and my rear end began to get sore by the end of the day's ride. Without the buttpad my rear would have been sore the first 100 miles. Although nothing will keep your rear from getting some soreness on very long rides, the Alaska Leather Buttpad will allow you to go much farther than was possible without it. I called them prior to ordering on-line and they were very helpful with ensuring I received the color and style I was wanting. I'm very pleased with their service and their product. Thanks Alaska Leather!

I would like thank Alaska Leather for the BEST service I have ever received from any company on the internet!! I placed an order for a Deluxe Silver Medium Butt Pad on, Friday morning, August 29th at 4:30 AM EST. The pad was in my mailbox on Tuesday September 2nd. From Alaska to Maryland over Labor Day weekend! It took me longer to remove the seat then it took to install the pad. I took the bike out as soon as the seat was reinstalled and it felt like a new seat was installed. Comfortable and it looks good. I am already telling all fellow bikers about this butt pad and the quick turn around from Alaska Leather! There’s a whole bunch of companies that could take lessons from Alaska Leather when it comes to service.
Dear Barb & the Gang at Alaska Leather,
I just received my order today and I just have to tell you how happy I am with the Butt Pad and the Cord on Blue!! Great products!! The Butt Pad is a perfect fit, I chose the Black Deluxe Med. size "BP" and it compliments the Mustang Seats nicely. The Cord on Blues really do work and holds the helmets snugly without damage, No more falling off the wall or rolling off the bench. I will be a return customer for sure.
Thanks for the great service!
Mike in Sierra Vista, Arizona
I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you about my experience with one of you sheepskin covers that I purchased a couple of months ago. I recently returned from Daytona Beach, Florida to my home in Phoenix. Your cover enabled me to ride 850 and 1000 mile days on my journey to and from Florida. This was never possible on the same motorcycle without the cover. I tell everyone that rides what a tremendous difference the cover makes. Thanks for a great product at a great price!!
Ken Phoenix, Arizona
Late last week, I ordered a seat pad for my Bike. To my surprise, it was in my mailbox on Monday. All I can say is wow! Really great delivery and the pad exceeded my expectations. I even thanked the guy I work with that suggested you guys. Thanks again.
David
This thing is great! Exceeded my expectations, fit and felt fantastic. Shipping was so fast I could barely believe it. I wondered how it happened! I ordered it, turned around and it was there. Pleasant surprises all around with this company.
The seat arrived and I am blown away. I took advantage of a special you were having and gave you the go ahead to ship a more expensive one if you thought the special was a mistake. What you did is fill the order with a much better product than I ordered because you were out of your special. I was under the impression the special ran out when your supply did so you can imagine how surprised I was to get this sheep skin cover. I worked in sales for 30 years before retiring and I am impressed. My son may need one of these for our father son trip to Nova Scotia and I will make sure he sees your web site and hears how happy I am.
What makes this really special is I found this on my desk when I got home from a trip where our car was struck by lightning and killed the computer. It brought a bright spot to my day. =/8^]
Jim
I just rec’d the butt pad, rock straps, etc. in the mail today. Wanted to thank you for the quick service and the wonderful butt pad. It’s as if you had my MC in your garage and cut the pad out to fit my seat. Perfect!
Best Regards,
James
Very pleased with the pads. Took them on a 200 mile ride on July 3rd - very comfortable and cool. Thanks for the quick shipping and a great product.
Thank you to Noah the rest of the crew at Alaska Leather. I ordered an Extra Large Buttpad and Stop & go Tire plugs on 6/15/10 and received them today on 6/1/710. Shipped to Hamburg NY,on the south eastern terminus of Lake Erie. Bravo. Job well done!!!!! Just in time For a Saddle Sore 1000 which we will be riding on Friday 6/19/10. This is our fourth annual Iron Butt Run and Charity event for The Make- A- Wish foundation. Thanks to Alaska Leather I know my Ride will be more comfortable and safe due to the good people at Alaska Leather.
Sincerely,
Jim
I just received my rally buttpad for an old KLR 650 and I just wanted to let you know that it's a great product at a great price. As a former Alaskan, I'm glad to see a business from my home state producing and shipping such an excellent product across the nation. Thanks and keep it up!
Glen
Got it. Thanks. It fits, looks, feels and works great!
The spotted buttpad arrived today. It's GREAT! Looks and feels fantastic. Thanks for providing a great product and the fast, efficient service.
Best regards,
Jack, Greer, SC
I recently purchased a Large Deluxe Buttpad from you guys. I must say this, it's great, it fits perfect on my BMW RT, & it feels great. Your service in shipping was excellent & it was here in no time. I recommend that any BMW riders if you want a nice soft ride get yourself a Lg Deluxe Buttpad, it will change your Butt. Thanks Again.
Kenny Blackstone, Va
Thank you for the quick orders and the fantastic products. I ordered one for my Tri glide and the guy who bought my ultra wanted one as well. Thanks again,
Mike
Hello, On Saturday, April 17th, in the evening local time I placed an order with you for a motorcycle sheepskin seat cover and a sheepskin pillion seat cover. Somehow the package arrived here in Rhode Island this morning, Monday the 19th at 10:55 AM via USPS. Great service, but scary fast! I cannot believe that a USPS package could travel so fast. I will install the covers on the bike this evening and I look forward to trying them out. Thanks for the great service! Regards,
Terry
I just wanted to thank you for the fast handling of my order of replacement straps and for making a fine buttpad. I love it! Thanks
Kenneth
You guys are AWESOME! I ordered my buttpad on 6/22, and it was waiting for me when I got home from work on the 25th! I can't get things from 2 states away that fast, much less across the entire country! I was impressed to say the least! I decided to order from you after reading a comment about your company on the Can-Am Spyder forums. The summers here in NC are hot and humid, making those leather seats a little on the hot side. Not real crazy about the wet pants look, so I decided to try a buttpad. What a difference! Not only was it a lot cooler, but oh so soft. While my rides are not long distance, they will sure be comfortable! Thanks so much!
GINNY
I have Buttpad !!!!!!! . is amazing! exceeds expectations! beautiful ! thanks
Got the sheepskin today in Ottawa Canada. Went for a rip on my 2010 Bonneville T100 and wanted to keep going,...couldn't believe how good it felt,...and I was considering refurbishing the stock seat for 4 times as much money.
< Thanks a bunch,..great product. My butt(pad) also thanks you! Cheers,
Tim
Barb, A little while ago I sent you an email saying that I should have my package by the time I leave for vacation (this Friday). Geeeeeeeeesh Barb,... the mail was just delivered and I received my Alaska Leather order. That has to be some kind of record for fast delivery. I ordered these items on Friday and it's only Monday. Double geeeeeeeeesh. Everything came through just fine. The insoles are the perfect size and I can't wait to try them out on a long, cool ride. They make my boots seem like a little piece of heaven. The Bikers Toothpick is the best bang for the buck for any knife I've ever purchased. AND, the Butt Pad is the correct size, fits my seat just right, and can't wait to try that item out on a long ride as well. I can't thank you enough Barb. Again, no other retailer I've ever done business with online has ever come close to you and your customer service. You should give some of these other companies some lessons on "Doing It Right". 'Til next time Barb,
Steve
Hi: Nice to see you folks at the Redmond Rally:) I bought a gel butt pad last year in advance of a cross Canada trip on my R1100S. It turned out to be fantastic!! My stock seat was getting worn and it was really designed to hang off the bike on the track; not for serious mileage. I went from Edmonton Alberta to Cape Breton Island and back in a month covering 12,000 kms. Every day was comfortable riding and I never felt sore even after many long days in a row. I hit some real soggy weather and the sheepskin was a real bonus; staying comfortable the whole time. I was able to move back and forth on the seat with no problem. It is helpful to change posture and re distribute weight between my hands/ arms/shoulders and butt. Honestly you have a great product and anyone interested in touring should get their butt a cozy sheepskin gel pad!!
Gordon Edmonton Alberta Canada
I just wanted to thank you for your great customer service and super fast delivery of my deluxe long haired sheepskin buttpad.
I placed the order on Friday the 17th of December and it was in my mailbox the following Monday the 20th! I'm still not sure how you guys do that!
This is the third buttpad I've ordered from you guys over the last several years and have been really impressed with the product every time.
Thanks again Alaska Leather!

Hi Alaska Leather,
I wanted to thank you my new seat 24"nose med deluxe for my 2009 BMW GSA. Well, it looks great and it feels even better, when I ride it to work, I will be sure to tell everybody where I bought it!
Thank you again.

I would like thank Alaska Leather for the BEST service I have ever received from any company on the internet!! I placed an order for a Deluxe Silver Medium Butt Pad on, Friday morning, August 29th at 4:30 AM EST. The pad was in my mailbox on Tuesday September 2nd. From Alaska to Maryland over Labor Day weekend! It took me longer to remove the seat then it took to install the pad. I took the bike out as soon as the seat was reinstalled and it felt like a new seat was installed. Comfortable and it looks good. I am already telling all fellow bikers about this butt pad and the quick turn around from Alaska Leather! There’s a whole bunch of companies that could take lessons from Alaska Leather when it comes to service.
Dear Barb & the Gang at Alaska Leather,
I just received my order today and I just have to tell you how happy I am with the Butt Pad and the Cord on Blue!! Great products!! The Butt Pad is a perfect fit, I chose the Black Deluxe Med. size "BP" and it compliments the Mustang Seats nicely. The Cord on Blues really do work and holds the helmets snugly without damage, No more falling off the wall or rolling off the bench. I will be a return customer for sure.
Thanks for the great service!

I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you about my experience with one of you sheepskin covers that I purchased a couple of months ago. I recently returned from Daytona Beach, Florida to my home in Phoenix. Your cover enabled me to ride 850 and 1000 mile days on my journey to and from Florida. This was never possible on the same motorcycle without the cover. I tell everyone that rides what a tremendous difference the cover makes. Thanks for a great product at a great price!!

Late last week, I ordered a seat pad for my Bike. To my surprise, it was in my mailbox on Monday. All I can say is wow! Really great delivery and the pad exceeded my expectations. I even thanked the guy I work with that suggested you guys. Thanks again.

This thing is great! Exceeded my expectations, fit and felt fantastic. Shipping was so fast I could barely believe it. I wondered how it happened! I ordered it, turned around and it was there. Pleasant surprises all around with this company.
The seat arrived and I am blown away. I took advantage of a special you were having and gave you the go ahead to ship a more expensive one if you thought the special was a mistake. What you did is fill the order with a much better product than I ordered because you were out of your special. I was under the impression the special ran out when your supply did so you can imagine how surprised I was to get this sheep skin cover. I worked in sales for 30 years before retiring and I am impressed. My son may need one of these for our father son trip to Nova Scotia and I will make sure he sees your web site and hears how happy I am.
What makes this really special is I found this on my desk when I got home from a trip where our car was struck by lightning and killed the computer. It brought a bright spot to my day. =/8^]

I just rec’d the butt pad, rock straps, etc. in the mail today. Wanted to thank you for the quick service and the wonderful butt pad. It’s as if you had my MC in your garage and cut the pad out to fit my seat. Perfect!
Best Regards,
James
Very pleased with the pads. Took them on a 200 mile ride on July 3rd - very comfortable and cool. Thanks for the quick shipping and a great product.
Thank you to Noah the rest of the crew at Alaska Leather. I ordered an Extra Large Buttpad and Stop & go Tire plugs on 6/15/10 and received them today on 6/1/710.

I just received my rally buttpad for an old KLR 650 and I just wanted to let you know that it's a great product at a great price. As a former Alaskan, I'm glad to see a business from my home state producing and shipping such an excellent product across the nation. Thanks and keep it up!
Glen
Got it. Thanks. It fits, looks, feels and works great!

Best regards,

I recently purchased a Large Deluxe Buttpad from you guys. I must say this, it's great, it fits perfect on my BMW RT, & it feels great. Your service in shipping was excellent & it was here in no time. I recommend that any BMW riders if you want a nice soft ride get yourself a Lg Deluxe Buttpad, it will change your Butt. Thanks Again.

Thank you for the quick orders and the fantastic products. I ordered one for my Tri glide and the guy who bought my ultra wanted one as well. Thanks again,
Mike
Hello, On Saturday, April 17th, in the evening local time I placed an order with you for a motorcycle sheepskin seat cover and a sheepskin pillion seat cover. Somehow the package arrived here in Rhode Island this morning, Monday the 19th at 10:55 AM via USPS. Great service, but scary fast! I cannot believe that a USPS package could travel so fast. I will install the covers on the bike this evening and I look forward to trying them out. Thanks for the great service! Regards,
Terry
I just wanted to thank you for the fast handling of my order of replacement straps and for making a fine buttpad. I love it! Thanks
Kenneth
You guys are AWESOME! I ordered my buttpad on 6/22, and it was waiting for me when I got home from work on the 25th! I can't get things from 2 states away that fast, much less across the entire country! I was impressed to say the least! I decided to order from you after reading a comment about your company on the Can-Am Spyder forums. The summers here in NC are hot and humid, making those leather seats a little on the hot side. Not real crazy about the wet pants look, so I decided to try a buttpad. What a difference! Not only was it a lot cooler, but oh so soft. While my rides are not long distance, they will sure be comfortable! Thanks so much!

I have Buttpad !!!!!!! . is amazing! exceeds expectations! beautiful ! thanks
Got the sheepskin today in Ottawa Canada. Went for a rip on my 2010 Bonneville T100 and wanted to keep going,...couldn't believe how good it felt,...and I was considering refurbishing the stock seat for 4 times as much money.
< Thanks a bunch,..great product. My butt(pad) also thanks you! Cheers,
Tim
Barb, A little while ago I sent you an email saying that I should have my package by the time I leave for vacation (this Friday). Geeeeeeeeesh Barb,... the mail was just delivered and I received my Alaska Leather order. That has to be some kind of record for fast delivery. I ordered these items on Friday and it's only Monday. Double geeeeeeeeesh. Everything came through just fine. The insoles are the perfect size and I can't wait to try them out on a long, cool ride. They make my boots seem like a little piece of heaven. The Bikers Toothpick is the best bang for the buck for any knife I've ever purchased. AND, the Butt Pad is the correct size, fits my seat just right, and can't wait to try that item out on a long ride as well. I can't thank you enough Barb. Again, no other retailer I've ever done business with online has ever come close to you and your customer service. You should give some of these other companies some lessons on "Doing It Right". 'Til next time Barb,
Steve
Hi: Nice to see you folks at the Redmond Rally:) I bought a gel butt pad last year in advance of a cross Canada trip on my R1100S. It turned out to be fantastic!! My stock seat was getting worn and it was really designed to hang off the bike on the track; not for serious mileage. I went from Edmonton Alberta to Cape Breton Island and back in a month covering 12,000 kms. Every day was comfortable riding and I never felt sore even after many long days in a row. I hit some real soggy weather and the sheepskin was a real bonus; staying comfortable the whole time. I was able to move back and forth on the seat with no problem. It is helpful to change posture and re distribute weight between my hands/ arms/shoulders and butt. Honestly you have a great product and anyone interested in touring should get their butt a cozy sheepskin gel pad!!

I just wanted to thank you for your great customer service and super fast delivery of my deluxe long haired sheepskin buttpad.
I placed the order on Friday the 17th of December and it was in my mailbox the following Monday the 20th! I'm still not sure how you guys do that!
This is the third buttpad I've ordered from you guys over the last several years and have been really impressed with the product every time.
Thanks again Alaska Leather!

Hi Alaska Leather,
I wanted to thank you my new seat 24"nose med deluxe for my 2009 BMW GSA. Well, it looks great and it feels even better, when I ride it to work, I will be sure to tell everybody where I bought it!
Thank you again.
