Ventilated seats may do this but better.
I've owned two cars with ventilated seats. In both, I never used the function more than twice because the primary result was less "oh, how refreshing" and more "did I wet myself?!"
On a hot day I once turned it on for a passenger without saying anything (it had been a few years of owning the car and I forgot the side effect). He had never been in my car before and didn't know about the function. (I promise I wasn't trying to prank him, I just forgot). Within a few minutes he asked me to pull over because he was worried he'd had an accident.
In short, I don't recommend ventilated seats.
That's wild! I've had it in two cars and in the summer after getting sweaty outside it's pretty great. Though I get used to it pretty quickly so I have to turn it off and on again semi frequently. Both cars also ventilated the lower and mid back which was nice.
What? It's the best thing ever.
My current car has ventilated seats. Use them every time I drive in summer.
Finding another car is now more difficult because I can never go back to not having them. Never I tell you!
Walk me through this. What’s the sensation that made you think that?
That's because at the beginning the seat is hot and that needs to cool too, ventilated seats are amazing, especially if you are like me and have swamp butt/like to sweat on your back
No joke that's why I don't like heated seats except on the very lowest setting (which is till sometimes too high). Feels like sitting in a puddle of warm piss.
I just want vented seats for those days where the seat material gets so hot, because to get any decent features in most new cars you HAVE to get the "leather" instead of fabric.
That's a bizarre reaction, I use them every day
I once accidentally turned on my seat warmer and halfway to work I thought I shit my pants
I've only had it in work machines. It was a godsend. It does make you feel like you diarrhead all over yourself but it does also cool you down. And at work, ample ass sweat is guaranteed so cooling the area down helps.
They do....but they're a hell of a lot harder to find than an old hose. Idk how vented seats aren't more common. Much more useful than heated.
Depends on the climate
Alot more expensive, heated seats ate insulation and heating coils, pretty simple, ventilated seats are more expensive, and because they are more expensive and more requested they are a premium
You can buy aftermarket seats for a lot of cars. Recaro sells them with adapters for a huge selection of European car models. They come with all sorts of extras like ventilation, heating, pneumatic multi-contour backrests and so on.
Most manufacturers offer them now, at least in the US. The problem is you usually have to pay for the most expensive trim level to get them.
Yea but they have an excuse to charge disproportionately more for that.
Most of the upcharge go away when buying used in my experience
Even just talking about arms, it's amazing how much more they can get cooled when the air is perfectly aimed to go down my sleeves...
We got em in our Kia and they're amazing this time of year.

"What if instead of designing the ventilated seats to blow air, we reversed it? What if we used them as the air intake? Turns out if we consider how the ducts are plumbed, rough calculations indicate we could save $5/car!"
I’m no expert but I feel like that might cause chapped lips for other folks.

Ch-ch-chapped chapped lips!" 🎶
Dear auto industry, please make an affordable small EV without forcing crappy software on me
...i shopped a saab 9000 back in '99: ventilated seats, man, pure luxury...
I miss my Saab. Best heated seats too
wtf? how about no?
That does not seem pleasant at all!
I think the ventilated seats in my parents’ new Kia Niro are a better option actually.
Do they still got farts in the headrest?
Yeah no, keep your swassties to yourself.
My '96 Magna still has it. Compressor has seized though so will cost a bit to get it chilling properly again.
Pretty sure fems can benefit from having less crotch sweat, too.
But what if it dries up your snatch?!?
Probably a good thing
