Frequently Asked Questions
Why do pilots choose genuine sheepskin aircraft seat covers?
Pilots choose genuine sheepskin to help reduce fatigue on long flights. These handcrafted covers provide natural temperature regulation, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter. The material is hypoallergenic for an allergy-friendly cockpit, and it resists liquids, rips, and snags, helping protect your aircraft investment with years of reliable performance.
How does sheepskin regulate temperature in the cockpit?
Natural wool does not conduct heat or cold the way vinyl or leather does, so the surface stays closer to a comfortable temperature. The dense fibers insulate you from hot summer seats and cold winter seats alike. Wool also wicks moisture away from your body, helping you stay dry through long flights and changing cabin conditions.
Is sheepskin good for allergies and sensitive skin?
Yes. Genuine sheepskin is hypoallergenic and naturally resists dust mites, helping create an allergy-friendly cockpit. The soft wool reduces skin irritation that some pilots feel against vinyl or synthetic upholstery on long missions. Keeping the covers brushed and lightly cleaned helps maintain that comfortable, low-irritation surface flight after flight.
Are these sheepskin seat covers fire resistant?
Yes. The genuine sheepskin used in these covers is naturally fire resistant and self-extinguishing, which helps them meet stringent aviation safety standards. That natural fire resistance is one reason sheepskin is favored in cockpits over many synthetic materials, adding a measure of protection alongside the comfort and durability these covers provide on every flight.
How durable are sheepskin seat covers and how long do they last?
Genuine sheepskin is prized for longevity, resisting liquids, rips, and snags far better than many synthetic covers. With routine brushing, occasional cleaning, and normal cockpit use, owners typically enjoy years of reliable performance. The natural fibers hold up to repeated entry and exit while protecting your original upholstery underneath from wear.
How do you clean genuine sheepskin seat covers, and will they shed or smell?
Lightly brush the wool with a soft brush and vacuum to keep it fluffy, and spot clean spills by dabbing liquid promptly rather than soaking the pelt. Genuine sheepskin may release a little loose fiber when new and is generally low odor when kept dry. Avoid harsh detergents and direct heat, and many owners use a dry cleaner experienced with sheepskin.
Are these sold as a pair, and what information do you need to order?
Yes, these covers are sold as a pair and made to order. You provide custom measurements of your seats, three photos of your current aircraft seats, and the completed dimension sheet linked on the product page. Identifying your aircraft year, make, and model also helps so each pair is built to fit correctly.
Who makes these covers and how is the fit guaranteed?
These covers are handcrafted by Aegis Covers in Southern California, made to order from genuine sheepskin using the measurements, three seat photos, and completed dimension sheet you submit. That hands-on craftsmanship is how each pair achieves a tailored fit for your specific aircraft seats rather than a one-size approach. Submit accurate details for the best result.
Are headrest or armrest covers included with this pair?
This is the pair of seat covers built to your measurements. Headrest and armrest pieces vary by aircraft and are often handled separately, so they may not be part of the standard pair. When you submit your dimension sheet and seat photos, note any headrest or armrest coverage you want.
How long does delivery take?
Because each pair is handcrafted to order for your aircraft, please allow up to four weeks for delivery. Production begins after you submit your measurements, three seat photos, and the completed dimension sheet. Sending accurate information promptly helps keep your order on schedule.
Can I return these seat covers?
No. Because each pair is custom made to your exact aircraft seat measurements, these covers are non-returnable. This guarantees comfort accessories tailored precisely to your cockpit, but it also means accuracy matters when you order. Double-check your measurements and the completed dimension sheet before you place your order.
