Can I use a breathable fabric over it for ultimate cooling of the jewels?

Been wondering about replacing factory foam with it (given its advertised 2" thickness).

it’s cheap compared to the products I sell for the medical industry so I cant speculate on the durability.

Probably not too good of a set up for a jockey sized guy who's already wearing thick soled boots for a a good foot plant now, huh? 2" is A LOT of lift for me, lol! Interested in hearing about swapping it out for OEM padding in an OEM seat though!

I read that same review and thought, what the hell... I bought the portable seat cushion for $40. It's only 1" thick and didn't seem to affect my riding position much at all...

I keep it in my tourpak. A couple times on extended rides, I pulled it out and threw it on the seat when I was starting to get a little discomfort. So far it has worked great!

My wife liked it so much, she bought one for her office chair...
