I like the plastic bag idea, it will make the bike look more like a beater, give it that homeless person type of transportation look. That would be pretty cool aye?

wax it.
But i still like the Aardvark cover for riding all day in the rain. it keeps the saddle drier.
An added plus of an Aardvark - bike saddle now looks like a cheap saddle. Good for the cities. And touring in the cold.

Skip the aardvark. Get one of these: https://www.randijofab.com/products-page/saddle-covers
I only use it if it's raining (which apparently never happens anymore where I live), but I have a buddy who keeps his on his B-17 full time and it is still waterproof.
