    I like both materials, it's really hard to pick one! But as long as the noise problem is non-existent I'd probably go for the leatherette.

    I must say ....softweave only on the 2020. 2022 is so rough... although you would think it can outlast the neo, but im sure after 2 years when SL launch their new version, you will get the newer again. Leatherette it is for me, it look and feel much comfortable and premium. own 2020 softw. and 2022 neo.

  • @TefenCa
    @TefenCa Před 2 lety +10

    The issue that people don't realize with the softweave (if it isn't 100% water & sweat proof) and breathable materials is that your sweat is going to soak into the foam and not be removeable. Over time it will smell & give that salty sweat smell. The even worse part is the smell that can gather from farting while sitting on it over time.

    I think I would get the leather since I have always AC On during the summer. also I am sure I would destroy it with food if I get the Softweave. Secretlabs has skin in their accessories section for these chairs, whenever I change my mind I can buy a skin instead :). Thanks fo the video.

    I just received a Secretlab Titan EVON Titan Leatherette in Black.
    The box was well padded, instructions were very clear, but what these reviews don’t mention is the formaldehyde like smell from the chair materials. I’m currently airing it out and hopefully the strong nauseating smell will disappear. Overall, the materials are sturdy, good framing, but the lumbar support looks lame. I’ll have to try it out for at least a week or two to determine if it justifies the $580 price tag. Good luck

It appears the noise issue only affects some chairs, and if your chair is one of them, you might be able to have a free Barrier Kit sent out. I don't know this for sure, but it's enough for me.

    Okay yeah my household is pretty hot a lot if the time. I’m currently using a $150 “leatherette” type of chair now and I’m constantly sweating even in the winter although I know SL is a lot more premium than that chair but still. I think soft weave black is better for me for this reason even though black usually doesn’t do too good in giving off less heat (think wearing a black shirt in 100 degree weather) but still think it’ll do a better job than the leatherette in terms of sweating. And I do eat/drink in my chair so maybe if I get a black one, stains and stuff like that (if they were to happen), would be less noticeable since it’s darker. Great and informative video. Do you have to get the barrier kit separately?

      @@jadesale2715 Yes so, with the leatherette I did notice a squeak, which happens because a small part of the leather moves up and down against part of the seating bracket, I easily fixed this by placing a small object in between so that instantly made the sound dissapear and it's now virtually soundless and easy to install. In my case, it's usually 18-26c weather and by simply adjusting your position every now and then, there's no "sweat" buildup, so it works for me. I also do own the XL version, which holds up to 180KG, so I think this should be no problem for you aswell. I'm personally 95kg but prefer the comfortability of bigger chairs nicer. But other than a quick fix of the squeak, it's the perfect chair, arrived 3 days ago after having the same ikea chair for 5 years and the difference is night and day, i wouldnt want to get out!
