[:-]Buy a piece of sheep shin that covers the entire seat. Long rides no longer will be an issue. Sheep skin worked for me and it cost a lot less than those bragged up air or gel cusions.

Sheep skins (genuine sheep skin not the fake) is the old standbye for both heat and cold, NOTHING is better, BUT its expensive. However, if you need an inexpensive and quick fix go to the local autoparts store and get a beaded seat pad and cut it to fit (requires some knots on your part, lol) and it will work well.

Used BEADS before and they worked GREAT allows a little air flow....
Didn't you worry that the string would break and then you'd have to go to the doctor to get them out. That would be embarassing.

I need help with a sensitive issue. I have an air Zeppelin leather seat. I also have had some lets say "trouble with my own seat" if you get my drift.
Well anyway yesterday the wife and I went on a 220 mile spin. My butt was on fire after about an hour. I had to stop three or four times just to let things cool down,





Haven't had that problem at all with my Road Zeppelin. Heard that the vinyl Zeppelins did this, but not the leather ones.

Maybe try layingoff the Jalapenos, and see if that will help?

I ordered mine from eBay. I got one dyed black for about 12 bucks. I cut it to match the contour of the seat and put a slit in it for my driver's backrest to go thru.
