Cool Covers - Air Con for your seat! - Does it really work?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It's a simple concept, but does it actually work in the real world. Here's my review after testing a Cool Cover for a number of weeks.....

    My knees are not great on long trips. I'm usually standing up on the pegs, stretching my legs out, doing anything to make them "click" and ease some of the ache. I bought one of these to do nothing more than add a bit of padding, but oh my God....the airflow is great, the extra cushion is welcome, but the most incredible thing is the increased circulation from not having your arse stuck rigidly to the seat for hours. 5 long days and 1600 miles round Scorland and back, and I didn't have to stretch out my legs once on my 800 Tiger.....I havnt had that since my mid 20's (20 years ago!!). The most impressive feature of this thing is how the constant micromovemet and multiple tiny points of contact with your posterior keeps the blood flowing found your hips, inner thighs etc, and completely negates knee ache.....I will never again ride a long distance without one of these.....Thanks so much Man Cave for the heads up..I was seriously thinking of cutting down my trip lengths......no more!!

    I just purchased a product kind of like this but it doesn’t cover the whole seat. It’s made by badass moto and you just put it where you sit. Same Velcro strap mounting deal though and it has a rubber coating on the underside that’s meant to protect the seat. Comes in three sizes. I just got it for my ktm 690 and tomorrow will be my first test of it. Weird that this video popped up in my KZread today. The fact that you like that one makes me hopeful that the one I purchased will work for me 👍

The owner of the business contacted me after half a year with some bulls#!t excuses about how busy they were relocating, asked for my bank account for a refund. Haven't heard from him since. Ended up getting a chinese version for a fraction of the cost. 95% the same thing. So I'm willing to bet he also gets them from China, overinflates the price and then dumps them on whatever snob schmucks fall for it.

    I don't think there is any reason why they wouldn't work as well, assuming the one you get is made of the same material. its the same as anything else, Cool Covers where doing this very early and so they have development costs and from experience i know each cover fits the specific bike very nicely. But once the idea is out there its verys easy to copy, and getting them rattled out from a factory in China is a cheaper option.

And I couldn't Fit the passenger seat back on the bike as it wouldn't pop into the fixing point. They are made with plastic resin not rubber....returning mine for a full refund.. ps the velcro strapes are not well made so beware could wear after time and just break
