Default Crotch cooler....

Anyone have the Captain Itch crotch cooler and what do you think? I was riding today and while the seat didn't feel hot my crotch felt like it was on fire and there wasn't any women around

Just out of curiosity, what was the temperature outside while you were riding? And are you running the factory headpipes on you bike with catalytic converters in them?

Hi,

I had the Kuryaken version and swopped for the Captain's. Much better performance with the Crotch Cooler. I am a very happy camper.

I am a happy customer. The Captain Itch Crotch Cooler flys in the breeze and seems to stay right under my thighs, it really helps. I have PC-V, you name it...was still hot.

Thanks Captain Itch, nice product

Because none of that helps when you are riding in 115 degree heat. Crotch Cooler keeps my nuts from melting to the seat.

Been there, done that... on my King and my Ultra (cat-less headers, synthetic oil, oil cooler, fuel management, etc.). You're still gonna have heat rising up. The Captain's **** just plain works!
He can make you a great belt too...

Throw a 20 lb bag of ice on the back seat. Get to highway speed in 95 degree heat and high humidity. You going to think you have AC with the water droplets flying around in the slight vacuume. Try it.
