Seat Cooling
So I get the seat-heating feature, but for people that are naturally hot this doesn't really help so much - especially in the summer! While the a/c is a "no duh" solution, it doesn't help when your back and legs are sweaty and nasty.
Does anyone know how to pipe cool air/water through the seats so us hot-folk can cool the heck down?

) and was kinda nervous going with MB Tex. I think a combination of the silver paint and the well perforated seats has kept me from becoming a sweaty mess.I would think any type of retrofit would be either ineffective or wildly expensive. Either bolt in some MB seats that fit(supports, seatbelt anchors, etc) or if you can find the room and a fan that fits, bolt a fan under the seat(not sure about pushing or pulling air through)

Throw on a sheep skin. Natural fibre is soft , comfortable & cool. Great on hot days & protects the seats also.
I bred my own tanned sheep skin . He was a black whether called Henry.My wife spun his wool & knitted great jumpers. He ate well too. !! Cut him up on the kitchen table.

I was going to suggest sheep skin, but now I don't know.
I think eating something that you named, and sitting on his skin, is maybe crossing some sort of karmic line, although maybe I've seen too many vengeance-themed movies.
I guess you'll know if you hear an evil sheep bleat just before the accident

Try switching your slacks to high quality Italian "super 120 wool" or higher- will keep you cooler than cotton or synthetic slacks - or go with shorts. Don't get anything other than "super XXX" wool. Looks good and wears well, super comfortable.
Cotton is the worst as does not breath or wick.
