When it comes to boat design, it’s often the little things that make the biggest difference — like the way your hands feel when they grip the wheel.

That’s why we’re excited to share our latest collaboration with Schmidt Marine: a boat steering wheel wrapped in Sileather®, our marine-grade, high-performance silicone-coated fabrics.
Built for sun, salt, and every splash in between, this wheel doesn’t just look good — it’s made to handle real-life boating.
Why It’s Different (and Better)
We worked closely with Schmidt Marine to design a steering wheel that’s not only tough and weather-ready, but actually pleasant to use. Here’s why we love it:
It Stays Cool in the Sun
No more burning your hands after leaving the wheel under direct sunlight — Sileather® stays comfortably cool to the touch.
No-Stress Surface
Sunscreen, cola, ketchup (hey, it happens) — our surface shrugs off everyday stains with ease. Just wipe and go.
Salt? No Problem.
Designed for marine life, it resists UV, hydrolysis, and humidity like a pro. It keeps looking sharp, trip after trip.
Soft, But Strong
The texture is smooth and grippy at the same time — no slipping, no sticky feel. Just a confident, comfortable grip.
Better for You, Better for the Planet
Our material is medical-grade, PVC-free, and made to last. Sustainable luxury? We’re here for it.
Made for the Water — and Made to Last
This isn’t your average wheel wrap. Whether you're cruising calm waters or heading into open sea, this is comfort and control in one beautifully designed package.

We’re thrilled to bring this innovation to life with Schmidt Marine, a team that shares our obsession with quality and performance. Expect more good things ahead — on deck and beyond.
