Do any of these covers provide UV protection? Is UV an issue for a leather saddle?, i think it would be, it is for car interiors. We are at 5600 feet here, and the sun blazes just about every day in the summer. Where my bike is parked during the workday gets a lot of sun, i'm definitely concerned about this as summer approaches.
