The mesh lets air circulate under your bum and thighs so they don't get sweaty and the springiness adds a lot of cushioning.
I've done a couple of 150-mile rides on mine now and the difference is striking:
my @rse didn't go to sleep (which it used to) and I wasn't constantly shifting around to relieve pressure and aches.
Best of all, it's $27 (£21) INCLUDING postage from Israel. Mine took 5 days to arrive. The small (S) size works fine on the SV seat, it stretches just right.

Great post, off to order one now....
Update, could not pay this supplier via Paypal with credit card as a guest as I normally do ( do not really want a Paypal account ) so could not complete the order, the supplier sent me an email saying I had not completed the order and I replied and told them why, have heard nothing else.. see new post one below this one, ordered a different style ( single seat ) from Ebay ( never carry a pillion passenger anyway) .
