Certain words are like chum in the water...
Back in topic, I’m looking at the Corbin seat for that very reason.

Pretty sure when I spend the day sitting on a rock I'm not comfortable and I find the pressure points on my backside quite well.
That said, I've spent many a day on an iron tractor seat in comfort.
It's not being hard that makes a seat comfortable, it's being shaped well. Corbin is on the path, but it seems like they never finished the journey. At last to me and my backside.

The technology has been used in automotive for a few years now. Because it's not a heating or cooling mat but a thermoelectric cooler and a ducted fan. The airflow should eliminate any chance of condensation.
It's still a lot of money for a seat but I think a Day Long or Ultimate is in the same ballpark without having the cooling feature.
Every butt and every wallet are different. Hopefully the op can get some reviews or possibly can post a review if he buys it.

I have not tried the Corbin fire and ice seat but do have a Corbin dual touring heated seat and love the seat very much and have had several 12 to 14 hour days on my 2009 Streetglide and no issues. I cannot speak for passenger seating as my other half does not ride much with me. Will not get into the Corbin seat debate as they are a firm seat so you either love or hate them but works great for me.

This new Corbin sounds intriguing but I wouldn't pay 1K for it with out being able to sit on it for awhile first.
I had a heated Corbin made for my last bike. I rode about 25K on it before I sold the bike and the most miles in a day was around 300. The seat was just okay and my @ss would start to get sore after 150 miles or so. The shape was good but in my opinion it was to firm for the long haul. I kept it because I liked the way it looked and because I paid a lot for it and decided to live with it. It was much more comfortable than my stock seat which started to hurt after the 50 mile mark.
I'm still looking at seats for my 2017 SGS. Likely will not be another Corbin.
