My bike is exposed to the sun on the balcony where I keep it. This is probably not so great for the leather saddle, so I improvised a sun cover from some wire and folio. This highly advanced design doesn’t trap heat underneath.

Wouldn’t a small towel on top do the same thing?
That would heat up more. No idea whether it makes a difference.
A thick white cotton terrycloth towel might actually work surprisingly well and you wouldn’t need to adjust it throughout the day.
Still, I bet your rig works fairly well.
Adjusting is a good point in some circumstances. No need for it here though.
Looks like you’ve got it handled. Nice saddle btw.
The reason I suggested is because my parents had an old Monte Carlo with leather seats that would get deadly hot during the summer and we would lay towels across them when not driving to prevent burns when wearing shorts.
