I've just bought a Corbin seat, and need some advise about leather versus vinyl, so I'm putting this as a separate post.

I've paid for the seat so that at least they can get started on it, but I need to let them know how I would like it finished. Their web site recommends that the top panel be leather, but that the side panels should be finished in vinyl because it's supposed to support the seat better. It just seems odd to pay that much for a seat that isn't all leather, but I suppose they know their business.

For those of you that have Corbins seats, are your side panels leather or vinyl, and what is your opinions about this?

Thanks.


Steve

mine are vinyl as far as i know. After 3 seasons I'd say the vinyl looks as good as or better than the leather.
