Aardvark saddle cover
If you are using a leather saddle check this cover out. Made in USA and it works great.

Paper or plastic?
Back when I rode diamond frame bikes I just stuffed a plastic grocery store bag under my Brooks saddles. If I got caught in the rain the bag went over the top of the saddle. Not as cool looking (or sounding) as an aardvark saddle cover but it's functional and the price is right.
I haven't figured out what I'm going to do for my recumbent seat if I get caught in the rain.

When riding my bike in the rain (which I do a lot), I use my butt as a seat cover. It covers the saddle completely (and then some...); it's free; and it's always with me.

Actually, I thought the product you linked to was interesting. I haven't been interested in some of the other Brooks saddle covers 'cause I don't see how you could ride on them. This was seems "stretchy" and thus I could understand riding on it. Thanks for the link.
