Default Heated AND cooled seat just released from Corbin

I wonder if you can actually feel the airflow like in my buddy's F350? The article states that ambient seat temperature will be lowered so I'm assuming not?

I'll wait to see some reviews but I'm very interested.

I saw this as well. I would like to know where air comes from. Even if it was hot ambient air running across your rear it could significantly reduce sweating or dry your pants?

Very cool. I will be following this seat and reading ride reports. Sounds like a good excuse to ride out to California.

never have i ever wished i had a heated seat. i have wished for a cool seat. i got the HD circulator pad and was very happy with it. if i use it on a cool day i can feel the cool rush of air over my bum. it's not as noticeable on hot days, but it cuts back on the sweat/hairy bum issues.

Yes I love the circulator pad. In the heat I can't feel the air but I know it's working when I finish my ride without monkey butt. Anything below 60° and I take it off as then I notice the air under me.

I've never wanted a heated seat before either but the wife would love it. It's just nice to have this option so I get something out of a $1000 seat as well.

I also want to see what other manufacturers come up with now. Maybe Corbin will offer a custom build option in the future?

If you want a seat that flows air, I have the guy for you:

http://kontourseat.com/

He custom builds on your pan, so you have to supply that, but these things really work, have one on my BMW K1600 GTL. The only problem is, you have to swap it out when the temps start dropping in the fall, because you will literally freeze your nuts off - that's how much air it flows. In the summertime though, its magic, and no pressure points, you can ride 10 hour days with a Kontour.
