Steering Wheel Covers...?

Hey everyone! I'm new here to the forums, but I've been reading them for a long time. I have been looking for a steering wheel cover for my 08 Evo X GSR, and I have not been having any luck. As you probably already know, the steering wheel is actually smaller than the "standard" wheel (14.5-15.5 inches.) which most places have covers for sale. I went online and all I could find are these leather steering wheel covers. I am looking for that microfiber, soft type of steering wheel cover because its more comfortable than the others, in my opinion. Does anyone know where we can find that size of steering wheel cover? Thanks!

lol even though i dont use one i guess maybe he is trying to prevent the wear the steering wheel takes. MY car has 50K and you can see where my hands rest.

>:O I meant one of those steering wheels that are soft to the touch, not leather. I PCSd to OK in August to start pilot training, and not only is my steering wheel getting some wear, but the sun would make it SO HOT. (It was over 100 degrees for like 60 days or something). I don't care about the design, but the only ones I found that were that size were the custom skin leather ones... which don't help with heat.

Although I can appreciate your problem with the heat in your area, i would never be caught dead with a cover on my steering wheel!!!! I would prefer to buy a good set of driving gloves instead!

Just today I went out to my local retail store and bought this originally for my DD. I read your thread a couple days ago and I thought you might be interested in this product.

The steering wheel cover is made from a neoprene material. It also claims to be: Long lasting, water resistant, breathable fabric, and stretches around any steering wheel. It fit well over my 15.5 steering wheel on my corolla and on my X as well, with no slack!

Unfortunately for your purpose, I have not tested this product in the sun because it hasn't been that hot here in CA. Here are some pics (I apologize about the iPhone quality pics):
