When running the Hereford High School cross country course the day after the state meet earlier this month, I fell in the mud and slid down a little bit, getting mud all over one side of my pants.
I continued running the rest of the course, but I was glad I had my Orange Mud transition and seat wrap in the car. I was able to have the dirt flake off onto the towel — which I was able to wash once I got home — rather than having the dirt go directly onto my car seat. This meant I not only didn’t grind the dirt into the seat, but also that it was clean for my two-and-a-half-hour-ish ride home after I took a shower, put on clean clothes and hung out with my family.
And while the transition and seat wrap is like a towel, it’s more than a basic towel. A zipper creates what looks like a hood, which goes over the driver’s seat headrest and keeps the towel up.
The 2.0 version of the towel, which I received, is microfiber, and it’s comfy to sit on, too. It’s also a good size for my driver’s seat.

The transition and seat wrap doesn’t have to be used for just dirt, of course. I’ve used it after other runs, as well, and I actually left it there for a bit before washing, because I hadn’t done any super-sweaty runs. It will certainly get a lot of use in the summer, when I am more sweaty after running.
The towel can also be used for changing clothes. It can be put around the waist and secured using a plastic hook and one of many choices in a belt. This way, it fits various sizes of waists. I changed using the wrap after my run at Theodore Roosevelt Island, because I was headed to a book tour after. I also brought an Epic Wipe along with me to help clean up in between.
I changed in my car using the transition and seat wrap, but I really could have changed standing up as well. It went nearly to my feet, since I’m only five feet tall — which is good if you’re trying to hide what you are doing under the towel.
The transition and seat wrap comes in numerous colors. I chose black, because I thought it would blend in well with my car and not draw attention if I were trying to change; however, I got to see other colors in photos from my fellow BibRave Pros.
