do the seats make your back sweaty?
 
This applies to the leather/alcantara seats. im not sure if this also applies to the cloth seats.

As we know these seats arent perforated so in hot weather the heat gets trapped betwen your back and the seatback, causing my back to eventually get sweaty. When i reach a light im able to fidget around and arch my back enough to get some cooling effect.

Anyone have any kind of trick to avoid this or minimize this (aside from hoping the cabin is cooled down quick enough). The only thing ive really done is point the central ir vent in the general direction towards the seatback. I dont think it really does anything though lol.

Yes, and mine are cloth, and most of the time, I don't even wear a shirt!

These seats are perfect for swamp ass in the summer.

My back does not get sweaty with my cloth seats. But, if it did, like back in the day, when the seat covers were made of horsehair, I used one of these low tech cushions. :D

Yup... Drove around 3-4 hours yesterday during our spring cruise and can confirm back sweaty around 2hrs in.

The factory cloth seats used to kill me, I think mostly because I couldn’t move around in them without bunching my clothing up. Summers can be humid here but seldom above about 95F. I felt like I was driving around inside a tennis shoe. Real leather made an enormous difference for me in all seasons. Not suede or alcantara, but plain smooth leather.

Not sweaty back so much…

No pictures available. Sorry!
