Default Simple Seat Covers?

I have sport seats and am looking for some simple seat covers to throw over them when I go to the gym. I'm currently using a towel but they do not cover the whole seat. I do not want to order customer covers and every seat cover I have tried does not fit. The seat backs are too tall. Does any one have any ideas or solutions?

Wouldn't it be easier to take a shower at the gym?

Keep in mind that they will need openings in the sides for the side airbags, built into the seats.

i just ride as is and clean the leather every other week... if i got in a wreck and became stuck in a seat cover due to the airbags/etc i would feel kinda stupid. and the paper would make fun of me "the guy that died because of his airbags and seat cover"

Not the solution you were asking for, but maybe use a fresh, larger towel and cover your back as if you were wearing a cape. That way you wouldn't come into direct contact with the seat.

The airbag issue mentioned above is reason enough not to mess around with a seat cover. It'd be tricky aligning to the airbag openings all the time.

I also put a towel on the seat when driving home from the gym all sweaty (like I just did this evening). It works fine for me. I think maybe you just need a bigger towel.

+1 ... I'd rather deal with the indignity of a communal shower than get the P-car stinky.
