I found this to be an issue for some hot natured folks like my self (hot seats)...Even with pre conditioning the cabin, i found my back hot and sweaty after riding for any length of time. Searched the forums and found someone posting about this cooling seat pad. No reviews and it was shipping from China (and took like 3 weeks total). 30 bucks or so on ebay. link below.

Pros;
it does actually cool decently well. enough that i'm not sweating through my shirt/pants. the fans are only in the, well for lack of a better word, butt part of the seat. The back of the seat is just mesh, which does decent.

definitely an added layer of protection from spills/scratches, etc. Basically a floor mat for your seat.

'install' actually pretty easy considering there were 0 instructions or pictures. (i did not look online at the ebay listing, however. could be there...)


Cons:
it doesn't look awesome. see pics attached. especially the head rest. looks way out of place. Not sure if there is a way to modify it or cut the head rest part off...i'll look into that later on.

i'm not sure what happens if i forget to power it off...will it drain the 12V battery in the car? will it drain the main battery? not sure.

Questions about if this is 'airbag safe'. it claims to be but i'm not 100 percent sure. so if you're concerned about that (which someone brought that up as a good thing to consider in another thread), then you'd better look for another solution.

Overall, i know it's shady buying an item on ebay directly from China, so i thought i'd post an honest review. Hope this helps!
