    I wasn't interested in leather seat covers until I found out that they have ball coolers.

    How well do they work?

    Cloth seats work 100% for me... Wouldn't thank ya for leather or vinyl...!! I'm a hot guy and leather makes me sweat like crazy and get sticky.... ball coolers would help, but the back would have to be cooled as well...!! Cloth is better for me....

    I normally shy away from heated seats and luxury stuff...... I sat in a few new trucks with cooled seats though. :yay:

    Is it up to $1000? Last I checked it was 5 or 6 hundred a side. I am considering adding this to my drivers seat. I have katskinz already and also have had the seat heaters in my '05 for a few years. They work great but I am jealous of this new ass chilling technology.

    My Lexus LS had cooled seat

    Issue is when you have it on in the summer it feels like you peed in your pants

    I didn't find it pleasing

    And I don't use it on our LX

    I had them in Lexus SUV and LS 460, SUV felt OK the car didn't feel good at all . But I use the heated seats all the time and heated steering wheel. I'm sure he contact Katzkin someone in Baton Rouge might have a demo seat .

    Did you notice the wet sensation after you left the car?

    A little of both , If you took a longer trip and moved around in the seat sometime you would feel it, or if you were already hot when getting in the vehicle. It's like mowing the grass and Then walking in to a house with the ceiling fan on
