Default Steering Wheel Cover Recommendation?

I'm feeling like my S-Line Sport wheel on my 16' A6 is a little thin and hard. I was wondering if anyone has found a nice removable steering wheel cover that fits this wheel? Preferably leather. I want to be able to remove it possibly in the winter in order to make use of the heated wheel function.

Interesting question but I have never seen one that I would let near an Audi.

Off topic I know, but would you recommend that Chipwerke? Any concerns about it placing unusual strain on either the transmission, engine or other parts which could lead to premature wear?

Yes, I’ve had it on for over 50k miles. I only take it off for service. Strain is not an issue but it can make the tranny jerk when engine is cold but you learn to make it not do it. This jerkiness May strain engine mounts but it’s minimal. Great cheap mod that you really notice when you take it off, it seems very sluggish without it.

Here is the leather steering wheel cover I just received from Amazon. It's actually not bad, much better than I thought. I'm gonna leave it on for a while, as I like it so far. Doesn't look as good as stock obviously, but gives the wheel a thicker meatier grasp, and it's real leather with a nice feel. Not a lot of covers fit this steering wheel, but this one is an exact fit:
