Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat ProtectorTM Mini Slide Show

The Problem To Be Solved:

There are many situations when people exercise, play sports, or perform fitness activities, causing them to sweat and perspire, then get in their cars and drive home. However, this transfers sweat or moisture to their car seats, and over time, this sweat tends to stain the upholstery and, once embedded, eventually soils the person's clean clothes as well.

Regular bath towels are inadequate for this purpose, as they're usually not large enough to cover the whole surface, plus they tend to slide off the head and backrests, creating a distraction that contributes to unsafe driving.

Most existing car seat covers require the head rest to be removed and the inconvenience of being put back in place, causing the user to either neglect to install the towel or leave it off all together. This also leaves the headrest without any cover or protection. Once installed, because other towels are an inconvenience to remove, the user, just leaves it in place for a period of time, causing the regular towel to become soiled and embedded with sweat.

SPORTSMEN'S & PET OWNERS' CAR SEAT PROTECTOR^TM

Designed by a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer, the Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM is a large, absorbent specially designed terry cloth towel with a custom hood that fits over the entire seat and all head rests. It is then secured with an integrated heavy-duty elastic band. The Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM is multifunctional and is also great on exercise benches or seats, as well as beach, pool, or deck chairs.

The Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM stays securely in place while in use. Yet it's easy to remove and put on, so, as necessary, it can be tossed into the washer and dryer and be reused over and over again.

Health Clubs and Gym Members:

One of the largest markets for the Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM is the approximately 45 million Americans that are members of health clubs or gyms. During workouts, many of these members sit or lie on specialized benches and/or seats, and carry a towel to place on the bench prior to using it. The towel's purpose is to provide a clean, dry and hygienic protector from previous users' germs and sweat, to absorb sweat from the user as he or she works out, and to keep the bench clean and dry for the next person.

Typical towels repeatedly slide off the bench while exercising, especially since many of the benches in health clubs and gyms include inclined benches and upright seats, and the towel tends to slip off the bench when a person places his or her workout towel on a bench or work out seat.

Then after the workout, many health club members prefer to get home quickly and leave without showering or changing clothes, until they get home, so they transfer sweat to their car seats and headrests. Over time, this sweat tends to stain the upholstery and, once it seeps in, can cause permanent odors as well as soil the person's clean clothes.

The hood of the Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM fits over the seatback portion of the exercise bench, staying securely in place during the workout, until it's removed. When headed home, users can place the Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM on the car seat for the drive home.

Outdoor Exercising, Athletic Sports, and Fitness Activities:

The same scenario applies to many individuals who participate in a variety of athletic sports and fitness activities, whether playing tennis or shooting hoops with a few friends, or whether jogging or walking at the park to stay healthy. After the activity, these individuals get in their cars to drive home, transfering sweat and perspiration to their car seats. When headed home, users can place the Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM on the car seat for the drive home.

Water Sports at the Pool, Beach, or Lake:

With activities such as swimming in a pool, surfing or spending a day at the beach, people tend to dry off, but stay in their wet clothes, transferring salty or chlorinated water to the car's upholstery. When headed home, users can place Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM on the car seat for the drive home.

Construction Workers and Outdoor Dirty Jobs:

For individuals who work in the construction industry as well as other dirty jobs such as gardening, mechanics, etc., the Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM keeps the car seat clean for the drive home and can be easily and quickly removed and tossed in the washer and dryers, ready to use over and over again.

Keeping the Car Seat Cool in Hot Weather:

Also, many people park their cars in direct sunlight. On hot days in malls, supermarkets, strip centers, etc., the upholstery becomes too hot to touch very quickly, especially when the windows are rolled up. If a person returns to such a hot car wearing shorts, it can be impossible for the person to sit down on the hot upholstery without being burned on the back of his or her legs. The Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM keeps the car seat cool when the driver returns to the car.

Pets in the Car:

When taking pets to the park, or taking them along for the ride on trips or errands, they can leave pet hair on the car seat, as well as bring in dirt and debris to the car and stain the car seat. Having a second Sportsmen's & Pet Owners' Car Seat Protector^TM can be used to protect the back seat and to keep the car upholstery clean from pet hair, dirt or debris.
