That looks decent, does that material not get really sweaty though? The cover looks ideal for sorting that, which is the main appeal for me.
Too bloody hot for VR this weekend though. I think my face would have caught fire
Never had an issue with it - I find it better due to it not absorbing sweat (though I pretty much always use a fan anyway). The thing I hated with the original interface (or with a fabric cover) is that it could become a horrible damp sponge. With the plastic "leather" material, during a gaming session, you can just take the headset off, give it a quick wipe and put it back on without that absorbed sweat feeling.
The one I bought was the slightly more expensive one with the two different thickness pads (they just velcro on/off). The thick one gives you a bit more nose space, so more airflow, and probably an FOV similar to the original interface. The thinner pad is the one I generally use, as it gets your eyes slightly closer to the lenses, and personally give me a better FOV.
Yeah, it's too hot - not used my Rift all weekend. Still, it gave me an excuse to fire up the PS4 and finally finish The Last Guardian. Those aren't tears you can see btw - it's sweat, honest...
