I totally recommend these things!

Maybe a small fan that runs off a 9 volt or something back there would be nice?

I tried another gel-pack without the "bandage" covering and it does sting. It's very cold. I will monitor to see if I get a lower-back rash, but at this point it's still worth it to me. When I get to work I don't fell sticky.

It does make the seat a bit wet, but it's a context thing for me. It was already getting damp from sweat, so "condensation wet" is fine with me. And I am using it when it's hot, so it evaporates quickly.

I have a 12V DC/5 AMP bilge pump fan I could use, but it's too noisy at 5 AMPs. I'd need to use it at a lower amperage (I have a DC motor controller for that too). I might give that a whack.

those look nice but they don't do anything for butt sweat though.

Hmmm, my friend actually said he gets "amazon a**" driving, I don't get butt sweat driving, I must be lucky or something

I like this original seat support idea. No a/c + vinyl upholstery = a sometimes nightmarish drive. Like today when it's cloudy, forecast for rain, way humid, and 95* out.

When I use the gel-pack on my back, I think it helps because of convection. Ha ha, I don't have proof of this, so this is literally a "butt dyno" moment!!!!!!

Yeah its the same way here sometimes, but usually more like high 80s or low 90s

Stopped at CVS today and looked for one, they didn't have any

There are similar ones in "As Seen On TeeVee" stores, but they usually cost the magic $19.99.

Good thinking! But...Tyler isn't special enough to have one of those. Kind of an odd city I live in...we have a lot of holes in our retail (and entertainment) lineup for a city of 100k. we have tons of CVS's though, so I'll try another one whenever I happen to be near one.

That way, the webbing will protect the gel pack, and the gel pack will not get wedged into the seat. Everybody wins!

Here it is :



And here it is installed :



Works like a charm. Gel Pack won't sink into the seat. There will always be a risk that I will burst the gel pack at some point, but I think the risk is diminished, and I can line the pouch with a plastic bag to mitigate the mess.

Thanks Mom!
