Yes, a shower cap works very well, and is quick and easy to put on. It is a cheap and effective solution, and stores very small. Don't get me wrong, I do have a Brooks seat cover, but it is generally used when I am transporting the bike on a bike rack, other than that, I usually use the shower cap. I did use the Brooks cover when I commuted and had to park it outside on windy, rainy days, but then again, other days I simply used the shower cap. It's nice to have a fitted cover like the one made by Brooks, but they take more time to put on, and are no more effective than the simple shower cap.
Your double layer cap sound very nice. Personalized with duct tape is even better.
