I don't like A/C either, and ten months out of the year, I don't miss it at all. But at some point (8hrs at 105°F would certainly do it) it goes beyond comfort and becomes a matter of safety.

@Christ: That is disappointing. How long did it take to melt the ice? You should note that the air in that room weighs as much as you do, and the walls have mass, too.

Probably the most bang:buck would come from a simple seat cover with four pockets sewn in for those $2 gel bottles, and maybe I'll just do that. But the chilled water seat cover would eliminate the problems where the bottles are too cold at first, then fine, then too warm, then you pull over to change out the bottles. Besides, tubes and a pump aren't THAT complex, and you can re-charge the system at a gas station.
