Best Fitted Front Seat Covers

Has anyone found a good set of front seat covers for the F15 that won't ruin the leather underneath? I usually don't change before driving home after skiing and don't want to scratch the leather up with the zippers on the back of my pants.

Currently using a towel, but figured I would look for something better....

Thanks

Hopefully Stowe this week, I think between there and Killington they have the best base so far this year, and I think it will probably be empty during the week!

Never had such an issue, after almost 10 years in Tahoe none of my cars ever had any damage due to the snow pants zippers. And I was wearing snow pants every single winter day.

Crisis averted! Bought a new pair of pants today with velcro rear pockets. My Burton Ronin pants had exposed zippers on the back and did quite a number the sand beige interior on my E70.

My buddy just went to Mt. Snow Sunday and said it was pretty decent so I have high hopes for Stowe. It's pretty cold all over VT so I think they are blowing snow too right now. Be nice to get outside and have an empty mountain to ride on!

Haven't been to Jay Peak in awhile but Killington has been really good the last couple years!

I have two these for my X5.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RHTRYWD/

Works great with the "multi-contour seats" or whatever they call them..., especially when compared to many other covers I have tried.

Only thing, they are not fitted as the OP asked for. But I don't believe there are any fitted ones that are made for the seats with extending knee bolsters, if that is what you have. They just lay on top, but do the trick. Even long enough, when knee bolster is fully extended.

Quick and easy to install and remove. I have thrown them in the washing machine a couple times, and they have held up fine so far
When not in use, I roll them up and stick it all inside the headrest section of the cover, for easy storage.

If they had been a bit wider and longer, they would have been even better. But many others I have tried were too narrow or short, so these are my current favorites.
