I have some samples of it, and it is so thick, that I don't think it would wrap around complex shapes well without wrinkles. I also have a chair that I recovered with the stuff, and my legs stick to it like crazy. I can't sit on that chair more than a few minutes without getting uncomfortable.
The vinyl in the Hawks Third Gen kit is really soft but I haven't noticed it being sticky - but then again your skin rarely comes in contact with seat upholstery, unless you're naked.

You must wear pants every time you drive.

I actually NEVER wear pants and I mean NEVER - I wear shorts year round. In 2008 I wore pants a total of like 3 times; twice for court and once for something else.

I don't remember having any problems with the seats sticking to my legs though, but then again my legs are pretty damn hairy.

Do you wear ghetto shorts that go three inches past your knees?

I literally can't sit in my old computer chair I recovered in naugahyde for more than about 15 minutes without getting stuck to it and uncomfortable.

They are comfy.

But in all reality, I don't remember ever having problems with sticking to these seats and I live in Tucson - it gets damn hot.

I think when mine finally need to be replaced I'll just look into some Corbeau seats, that way I can get them setup for a 5pt harness as well.

I'm the same way, i wear cargo shorts year round and my bare legs don't touch my seats. unless your wearing speedo shorts or something nasty like that, your legs shouldn't touch the seat. to whoever said ghetto shorts that go down almost to your ankles, the ones i wear barely go below the knee. thats how cargo shorts are, i'm a guy, i don't wear daisy dukes
