Guess maybe you could be the first. If you do post your opinion, I'd be interested

 

Do you happen to have a link handy to the seat you are talking about? I'd like to check it out.

 

How do they do cooling on a bike seat? The seats in my truck are cooled, and I assume they used the aircon for that.

 

Arctic, apparently like this:

About Fire & Ice: Ever hear of the Peltier Effect? If so, you've probably already figured out the basics of how the Corbin Fire & Ice system works. With just a couple of fans and some clever application we can include both heat and cool in the same saddle without pumps, compressors or fluids. It should be noted the cooling effect is affected by ambient temperature. In our samples the room temperature was 74 degrees and it took just a few minutes to cool the seating surfaces down to a chilly 63 degrees. In our continued tests, the system quickly cooled the surface 10-15 degrees below ambient temperature. On the heat side we thermostatically set it to top out at approximately 110 degrees.

 

Ah, yes! Thermoelectric cooling. That does make sense. I had heard of the Peltier-Seebeck model, but long ago in a University Thermodynamics course. I had to go look it up again.

Thanks for the info!

 

I'd like to have a cooling only seat. No heat. The cat takes care of the heat factor in any weather!

 

I'd be surprised if it worked on a bike without the catalytic converter removed.......there's a crap ton of heat rising in the area.......

 

 

I just today bought a used fire and Ice seat going to put it on tomorrow hope it will fit not sure if there is a plug under the seat??

 

Any update? I'm curious to hear first-hand experiences with this seat.

 

There is a plug yes. Let us know how you like the seat.

 

I am in the same boat as Pablo94. I'm only looking for cooling. In my part of the world, we stop riding around middle of October. But in the summer, the heat from the engine and a 85 F on the thermometer one needs cooling. I was thinking of an easy solution which is to get some ice pack and place them inside your riding jacket. This should cool down your core. vand with your blood circulation, it should be pretty good. I intend to try it this summer. If the success is mitigated, I will invest in a heated-cooled seat.
