Recaro Seats in the US *(the cowhide horse meat edition)

[bigleonski]

Ah @ADVAW8S you’re confusing your leather and latex again. Off to the dungeon mistress with you lad!!!

Recaro seats in the GREN Test vehicles are rather comfortable. I'm at 177cm and a mate 186cm - both of us could not really fault the Recaro seat. We did not notice the passenger (Aus test vehicle) had more foot room to stretch out a bit. But the seats are great.

I'm thinking the text referenced the fabric seats with vinyl.

Yes that's what occurred to me and I wondered if it might be due to the chemicals used for stain resistance not meeting US standards or the fact that the EU recently changed its 50-year-old flame retardant standard that was based on US rules?

I thought they were made from recycled plastics
As opposed to my choice which is recycled cows

Strictly speaking , "repurposed" cows

I guess the vehicles with synthetic leather use the hide from whatever creates vegan sausages

The asterisk in the posted text must have a correspondent text somewhere before. This text is missing.

Clickbaiting comes to my mind,

As there is no source given, I've searched myself and found this. There is no note about availabiltiy in the US.

Source.

EDIT: link updated to not overwhelm anyone with scrolling down. Still no note about restricted availablity.

And yet there was previously...

What could possibly have happened?

Your source seems to take you to this:

So maybe more click baiting...

Cows leather is more sustainable than petrol-based PU/Synthetic options!!!

Not for the cow.

Those cows are lucky they don't have to contemplate the fact that they wouldn't have existed in the first place if they weren't so great to sit on and yummy on the inside.

FYI: It's a web page. If this is not too difficult for you, just scroll down a bit.

But I have found a direct link for you and updated my posting accordingly.

Maybe ours won't be stain resistant.

Hm.. I ve got a few of these around.. they re kept in their place by a thin plastic / wire and some high voltage..
So perhaps you add some electric fence to yours .. should be cheaper in the long run instead of continuously repairing classic fences.
Alternative is razor wire. but not ok for cow hide if used later.

Yeh, I've had to resort to electric fence on some of the ring fences. Much to the annoyance of my dry stonewaller. I'm slowly getting rid of all the barbed wire that's on fences, nasty stuff, and replacing with an electric top wire.
