Default Is there a such thing as a breathable seat?

Like a lot of you, I have no ac. Well, my car came with ac but the 1.5L air compressor Honda chose to dub the d15b7 doenst get the compressor enough power to even fool with waiting for it to cool down. Being that city traffic in florida is often over 110F, my back is always soaked with sweat by the time I get anywhere. Its gotten to the point where I have to bring an extra shirt to put on when I get where I'm going. Is there any way possible to make my seats breath a little better of even if aftermarket seats will remedy this?

well ive seen some people that uncover the seat and cut out a chunk of foam to fit in a fan.... BUT personaly i dont see that helping THAT MUCH.....

youd have to cut a hole all the way thru the seat for it to get some air to push around....

No you would probably have to have AC for that to work. Just drill holes through the seat

My question to that, is if you put the fan under the seat cover, where would the air be circulating from? kinda like if you put a towel over a swivel fan it acts like crazy and then eventually blows the motor cause it suffactes the fan...

thats why i said to cut the foam out all the way thru... so it pulls it from the rear of the seat and pushes it thru the front..... BUT ive said i dont see it helping a bunch realy......
cause your back would block most of the fans air...


definatly wont be as good as just a AC system..... LOL
BUT if ya wanna quick cold back.... get some of those reusable ice packs and a towel....lol

You could just recover your seats in a breathable mesh fabric, kind of like what they use for computer chairs.



Bit more see through than I'd like tho.

I can't tell if these answers are jokes or not

you can get the Recaros with the mesh insert...
