Is there anyone using the Corbin Fire and Ice Dual Touring seat? I was wondering if the cooling is worth the extra money. I know that the heat works great because I had one on a Suzuki a few years ago. I know that the cooling would really be nice in the Texas summer heat while sitting in traffic but I don't know how well it would really work..

 

I don't have this seat but I ride with someone who does. His observation/opinion: It cools but on a hot day, you don't really notice it until you turn it off. The cooling feature was worth the extra money.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm going to bite the bullet and order me one.

 

I plan on getting one as well. I read it works using the peltier effect and keeps the seat about 20 degrees cooler than ambient. I will take an 80 degree seat in 100 degree weather any day!

 

I rode up to Hollister last May and had one custom made for my RK. I'll attach some pics when I get home. The heat portion works great...the cooling...it's okay. You'll notice it on a longer ride, it takes about 15 minutes to start to notice. Your butt doesn't sweat as much. I live in Tucson, AZ so I know what hot weather riding is like. Would I do it again...sure, why not. It's only a couple hundred $$$ difference. Great conversation starter. I've got a Corbin butt so I can now do 700-800 miles day effortlessly and no back-side pain.
