A stylish fur cape for a car is an unsurpassed decorative tool for your “iron horse”, aesthetic and environmentally friendly. Such a cover is practically not subject to wear, does not shed, does not spread at the seams and does not stain the wet clothes of the driver. The process of installing these capes is very simple and takes very little time. By the way, these products are also used at home or in the office.

Important components of comfortable driving are the convenience and practicality of the seats, which are achieved, among other things, by using a variety of covers. A t-shirt or car seat cover can decorate the interior of the car and protect the seat from wear and tear.

Fur capes and covers-shirts for car seats

A fur T-shirt or cape will not only be an excellent interior design solution, but also an excellent, in terms of practicality, seat cover, especially leather. A set of T-shirts for the front and rear seats is great for any time of the year: in winter it does not cause discomfort from contact with the seat when landing in a cold car, it retains heat; in summer, in the heat, it absorbs moisture well, and the structure of the fur prevents a lot of sweating. However, only high-quality natural fur products as in the photo, especially from sheepskin, have such properties to the full.

Fur capes, as well as T-shirts for the front and back seats, are made from both natural and artificial fur. Most often, sheep or goat hair is used as the most suitable. Capes and T-shirts made of sheepskin are not only the most wear-resistant and warm, but also have healing properties.

Modern methods of dyeing fur products make it possible to implement a wide range of color solutions, create any pattern that meets the wishes of the owner of the car and is suitable for the car interior. Sitting on sheepskin products is comfortable in both cold and hot weather.

The current sheepskin covers and T-shirts are subjected to a very careful dressing, thanks to which they should not shed, leave wool on the upholstery of seats and clothes. An attempt to tear a piece of fur out of the product will not be successful - the pile is firmly held on the base. Sheepskin wool on products can be long or short. So that fur capes do not slip on the surface of the seat, they are trimmed with material on the reverse side.

Fur T-shirts and capes are unpretentious in use. With small dirt, they are easy to remove and simply shake off. Serious cleaning of sheepskin fur products is best done in dry cleaning. Faux fur, if necessary, can be washed and combed by yourself. Properly used quality sheepskin capes and shirts will last for many years. But they also cost more than faux fur.

In addition to all the advantages of fur capes and T-shirts, sheepskin products have one more. Sheep wool contains animal fat lanolin, which has a soothing, antibacterial and aseptic effect. Therefore, the use of sheepskin products is also good for health.

In addition to the obvious advantages of fur seat covers, they also have a number of disadvantages. All of them are mainly related to the quality of the material, often problems arise due to violations of processing technology. Disadvantages can appear in many ways. If the material is of poor quality, it quickly begins to shrink and change its original appearance, acquiring a ribbed shape. Often, if the manufacturing technology has been violated, the fur begins to climb (if the material is of high quality and processed correctly, the first two problems are rare). Other disadvantages arise during the operation of fur capes:
1. The formation of static electricity inside the cabin (the occurrence of characteristic clicks always accompanies boarding and disembarking, which is sometimes very annoying).
2. Fur capes are quite slippery, you will have to get used to them.
3. Fur covers are guaranteed dust collectors.
4. Processing and cleaning of capes is possible only in dry cleaning (of course, if you need to clean it properly).
Fur capes are very expensive and therefore give the salon solidity. Such cars often become objects of theft and vandalism, you should take care of the safety of your iron horse in advance. But, despite this, it is difficult not to appreciate all the advantages of such capes in the winter, especially if the seats are leather.

Massage cushions for car seats

A massage cape for a car seat is the best option. It can be attached not only to the seat of any vehicle, but also to an ordinary chair at home or in the office. They well maintain the tone of the back, have a beneficial effect on blood circulation. By acting on the back, neck, muscles through acupressure and longitudinal massage, they help the driver not to accumulate fatigue and maintain attentiveness and reaction.

Wooden massage capes are of the summer type. Thanks to their design, a small free space is created between the seat and the body, where air circulates. In summer, the back will be easier to bear the heat and it will not stick to the seat cover. Light products heat up less under the sun's rays during parking. In winter, it is better not to use wooden capes - their surface will be too cold.

Massage capes of the second type (active) are equipped with movable elements that are controlled by electronics and operate on power from the mains. They are of two types:

• vibration;
• roller.

In the first, small chambers are filled with air and connected to vibration micromotors, which provide a vibration or pulsation effect on the muscles. Roller massage capes are arranged differently - instead of air cushions, movable rollers are installed, which are set in motion by electronically controlled mechanisms combined with them. Their effect on the body is significantly different from vibration massage, since the movements performed are only linear, point and wave-like.

Massage cape on the car seat can be with:

• heated;
• the ability to select different massage modes for the back, buttocks, thighs;
• regulation of intensity, strength of massage;
• the possibility of choosing the area of ​​massage;
• a timer that turns off the cape;

Other types of covers and t-shirts for car seats

T-shirt covers for the front and rear seats of the car are made not only of fur, but also of leather, velor, suede. There are inexpensive options as in the photo from tapestry, plush, fabric, the main task of which is to protect the upholstery of car seats.

A macramé-style wicker car seat cover will bring a lot of pleasure when driving a car. With its pattern knots, it creates an unobtrusive, light massage effect, which contributes to a noticeable increase in tone by improving peripheral blood circulation. Wicker products, thanks to the created air gap between the seat and the body, allow the latter to breathe, protect against temperature changes in the heat, and prevent clothes from sticking to the upholstery of the chair. In winter, in the cold, they are also comfortable to sit on. Woven products of dark tones can become very hot under the rays of the sun.

Weaving and macrame pattern is the author's unique work with an original pattern. Therefore, wicker capes, as you can see in the photo, will not only decorate, but also give it individuality. You can even order a product according to your own sketch. Wicker products can be easily cleaned by yourself with any known detergent, washed in an automatic machine. Made from synthetic cords, they do not shed or stretch.

They also produce cooling capes and heated ones. The latter are made of synthetics with built-in carbon heating elements that are durable and flexible. Seat heating is adjustable. Wire can also be used as heating elements. Cooling covers for the front seat of the car (as pictured) are made of high quality breathable polyester. Inside the product there are channels through which the cold air blown by a special fan is evenly distributed throughout the cape.

Kikmat is a polyethylene protective cape for the back side of the front seat backrest. It is used when transporting children in special car seats for them. Cleaning such a plastic cape is very simple - with a regular rag.

Protective capes, T-shirts for the front and rear seats are made of nylon or dense fabric. They are durable, suitable for any car, easy to clean or wash. Disposable polyethylene capes and T-shirts as in the photo or from other materials are also protective. They are in the front and back seat, indispensable for car repair or maintenance. Disposable protective capes are very convenient to use when transporting animals, caravanning, in all cases when the clothes of passengers or the transported luggage are wet or dirty.

Hi everyone, Ilya!

Today I will tell you about capes for leather car seats.

For more than a decade, motorists have been debating whether car seat covers are needed: some say that this is an indispensable attribute of every car, and not only cars, others insist that such an addition is unnecessary, and in some cases it can even be harmful.

In fact, there is no single answer here - everything is decided by the individual characteristics of the car, the climatic environment, seasonality and the driver himself. Therefore, it is very important for an inexperienced motorist to understand at least in general terms what car wraps are for, what their varieties are, whether they are really needed and which of them can bring discomfort instead of benefit.

Well, let's look into this matter together.

But stand still. First I want to show you my favourites:

Cool? And then! And they are not made of anything, but of Alcantara. You can also buy these for yourself by going to site of the manufacturer of elite capes.

Before moving on to a general review, I want to first dwell on one particular thing - leather seats and capes for them.

The fact is that the most controversial judgment has developed among motorists here: some believe that the skin (natural or artificial) must be covered with something protective, while others believe that the capes themselves contribute to accelerated wear of the leather coating.

Who do you think is right? In the network, by the way, there is nothing plainly on this issue, except for the questions themselves.

So, both are right: it is of course desirable to protect the skin with capes, because this material is very sensitive to scratches, for example. But really, just throwing a cape on the skin and forgetting about the problem does not mean protecting it.

After all, the skin itself requires regular care to maintain its elasticity and strength. Well, the capes themselves, especially those made of hard composites, should be well fixed, fit snugly against the seat and not fidget on it.

That is, capes for leather seats should be chosen taking into account the possibility of their tight fixing on the seats. Well, do not forget about the treatment with household skin care products and its substitutes, according to the attached product instructions.

What are car seat covers?

Car seat covers are an additional covering for its surface. They are made by cutting their outlines from various materials using different, including high, technologies and are used by motorists for various purposes.

Yes, they are used in different ways - not only as protection against dirt.

The autocape is superimposed on the front or rear seat and, after fixing, forms a single whole with it, adding necessary or simply useful properties to it.

Some of these auto capes can be put on and taken off quickly, while others cannot. Dirt almost does not stick to some, others are quite easily soiled, some are perfectly cleaned, others require the participation of dry cleaning. Well, some are expensive, while others are cheap, this is understandable. Some options are quite affordable even for self-production, while others can only be done by specialists.

During the existence of car seats, many varieties of capes have been invented for them, designed to perform a particular function. Let's look at what they can give car drivers.

What are car wraps for?

For what purpose do different categories of drivers use car capes

Purity Lovers

The first thing that comes to mind about the purpose of using car covers is the protective function for the seats, especially if they are made of expensive material. Indeed, many drivers love cleanliness in the cabin and dirty worn seats do not suit them. Therefore, especially if passengers have to be transported frequently, they dress the seats in car covers made of a material that can be easily and quickly cleaned.

How do you feel about the cleanliness of the salon?

Connoisseurs of aesthetics

Another category of drivers appreciates the aesthetics of their interior above all else and, in accordance with this, acquires beautiful and stylish capes, the price of elite versions of which sometimes exceeds the cost of the seat itself, especially if aesthetes own a budget car, but want it to look as representative as possible.

In my opinion, there is nothing shameful in the craving for aesthetics - people like beauty, so let them admire it, at the same time others will look and maybe they want the same for themselves.

Adherents of practicality

The third category of motorists is more concerned about practicality, and they prefer models with developed ergonomics of forms, made taking into account the cooling or warming effect. Some, especially those who drive for a long time, buy different versions of car capes with a massage effect that relieves fatigue of the spinal muscles.

Practicality is not a vice, but a means to an end, which is a valuable property in our time, do you agree?

Opponents of capes

Well, if a person wants to see the skin of the seats, for which a lot is overpaid, as they say, facing the public, then this is his right, no doubt.

Is the sheepskin worth its seat?

We have identified three main types according to their scope:

• Protective;
• decorative;
• Functional.

Of course, all this in some models can be served in one bottle, but usually the intended purpose prevails over versatility.

Protective component

As you know, today new cars are delayed by car owners for much less time than before. And if the driver knows the value of money, then he already takes into account its sale in the future.

Such motorists are actively using funds that will make it possible to keep the residual value of the car at the highest possible level until it is sold, in order to gain as much money as possible.

That's just how they immediately cover all the seats with capes, which really makes it possible later and more expensive, without resorting to the services of car dry cleaners.

Well, just in everyday terms, it is more convenient for a driver who loves cleanliness to clean the capes than the seats themselves, especially if passengers are often present, including children or a dog.

Decorative component

If a motorist attaches great importance to the aesthetics of the interior decoration of a car, then it is capes that play a leading role in creating the right atmosphere in the cabin.

Here, the protective function is of little importance, because often in fact it is more profitable to protect the capes themselves, and not the seats. Here, drivers give free rein to their desires, and manufacturers stimulate their imagination: sometimes it’s scary to sit on decorative car capes, they can be so beautiful. Is this feeling familiar?

By the way, such decor is used not only for the purpose of personal contentment and image, but also simply for banal ones with nondescript or worn seats, as an element.

Indeed, such additions as beautiful body kits, decent capes sometimes encourage a person to buy even the option that he did not originally plan - there are many such cases, because we are all people and act not only according to logic, but also in accordance with emotional impressions.

Functional component

The driver can be an auto esthete or whatever, but if he has an urgent need, he will most likely give priority to practicality. And this applies to capes to the fullest.

For example, you want beautiful, fluffy and bright car capes, but you have a family and children who stain all the beauty and tear the pile out of it. Here, most likely, you will have to cover something that is easily wiped with a rag.

Another case: in the heat, fur capes are not very acceptable and it is better to replace them with an option for summer. And for winter, if the cold is very strong, the priority will be given to the warmest, and not the most beautiful fur, because even if the seats are heated, after a frosty night it will not immediately bring the temperature of the leather cover to the minimum comfortable.

Well, all sorts of options for anatomical ergonomics for the back, including massage properties and functions, will also be a priority for many.

What are car wraps

Types of auto capes

All car covers are divided into types, according to the seat surface they cover.

The three most common types are:

• Cape-shirt - covers only that part of the seat that is in direct contact with the body of the driver or passenger.
• Classic cape - covers the entire front of the seat, including its sides.
• Cape-cover - covers the entire seat, including the headrest and back panel.

Usually, the smaller the cape, the easier and faster it is to remove. Well, clean up, of course.

Types of capes

Almost all types of capes can be conditionally divided into summer and winter. But only conditionally, because some fur options, due to the peculiarities of the structure of the pile, are great for the summer, and Alcantara products and some others can be considered all-weather.

Summer car capes

The summer group includes products that are distinguished by porosity and lightness. T-shirts are used most of all for summer, and covers are used least of all, but all three types are on sale for the warm season.

• Solid composites are usually T-shirts made of wooden, plastic or porcelain elements that are rounded, oblong or flat. Such products create a ventilation air cushion between the person and the seat, and some of them have good micro-massage properties.
• Wicker designs are usually T-shirts and classic capes made of plastic and thread cords, woven using the macrame technique or a regular net. They also create a ventilation cushion and have a beneficial effect on the back muscles.
• Microporous fabric - these can be capes of any type. They consist of a special multilayer-structural fabric, which creates natural air microcirculation in its thickness.
• Alcantara is a synthetic material patented by Italian textile workers that has the properties of soft suede and surpasses it in a number of indicators. From beautiful luxury seat covers that are warm in winter and cool in summer, being a versatile option.
• Capes with active cooling are already high-tech products, which are not just a cape, but a device with a system of ventilation ducts through which electric motors drive cooled air. Typically, such capes are used only on.

In my great-uncle's garage, I somehow found braided capes made of insulated colored wire, from the times of the USSR - quite, I tell you, skillful work that would look good on a seat even today.

Winter car capes

The winter group includes options that are distinguished by style, beauty and comfortable softness. For winter, all three types of capes are available.

Here is a list of the materials from which they are made:

• Fur (sometimes furs) are classic options made from natural or artificial materials. Most often used or its high-quality imitators. Fur capes combine luxury, warmth and durability, and those who buy natural sheepskin also experience a beneficial healing effect on the dorsal region.
• Composite wool is a modern technology for the manufacture of artificial or semi-artificial fabrics similar to natural skins. intertwined with synthetic and fixed on a fabric base. Such capes are often very beautiful, because there are more technological possibilities in their production, but they are not as warm as natural fur.
• Structural fabric - winter capes are produced from structural fabric, which, due to their structure, have the properties of accumulating heat and reflecting infrared waves. Usually they are made in the version of anatomical ergonomics, with orthopedic elements, which adds convenience and heat capacity.
• Heated devices are capes with thermal elements embedded in them, powered by batteries or connected to the car's electrical system. Such devices are perfect for cars whose seats lack the heating option.

And before, drivers had an option: handicraft sheep or goat skin. Today, the choice for winter is much wider!

Other types of auto capes

In addition to the above, there are also purely protective products used at an increased risk of contamination. They are cold in winter and hot in summer, but they wipe well, wash and dry quickly.

They are made of plastic or waterproof leatherette. This option is well suited for any activity associated with frequent soiling of clothes.

If you are, say, a hunter or a fisherman, then it is useful to have a set of such capes at least as interchangeable ones.

• All fur and wool capes are best purchased from a trusted seller, as unknown companies often sell goods that then pollute the car with falling pile.
• When buying a cape made of natural fur, check the product with the old-fashioned furrier method “for a pinch” - try to pull out a little pile with a little effort. With modern tanning technology, a high-quality skin will not allow you to do this, and a bad product will “leak”, that is, some amount of fur with clearly visible root bulbs will remain in the fingers.
• Capes made of natural fur are well protected from moths - a full-fledged dressing process makes the skin an unsuitable medium for laying its larvae. However, you should not air such capes on bare ground in the warm season. Skin beetles are often found in the turf, many species of which are not very susceptible even to strong poisons and any skin collagen can “grind”. If you see that something has wound up in your cape, then place it in the freezer or in a plastic bag with insect spray vapors.

Conclusion

So, now you know that car covers are used in the car for a variety of purposes: protection, decoration, functionality. And in accordance with them, there are many product options on the market that can provide the seat with the required properties.

I myself think that this is a good thing. Surely everyone knew that they can protect the norms from dirt and wiping. But what about the fact that they can decorate the interior thought? Have you heard? Now yes. Especially after I showed you my favorites)
