Hi Adeline,

Coolmax is actually a man-made fibre or combination of fibres. Its wicking quality made it a good material for use in clothing, especially sports attire such as running tee shirts, shorts, socks, underwear, etc. Having sports clothing of this material, I find it inferior to the similar Nike Dri-Fit range of sport clothes. Reebok also have its own of a different name. The clothing material is designed to wick perspiration from your body and speedily evaporate it to the air. The quick evaporation rate will lower the surrounding temperature and therefore cool your body down. May work very well in low humidity countries and less well in high humidity Singapore. But they do dry fast, especially the Dri-Fit. [nod]

As a material for covering car leather, I don't see any worthwhile advantage. You don't get sweaty in an air-conditioned car. If the aircon fails, the coolmax can wick the perspiration from your back. However the perspiration cannot evaporate speedily when the coolmax is pressed against the leather seat. No evaporation result in no new wicking action. [shakehead]

Hope this helps.

I m using the one with lumbar support. You can get at autobacs abt $25, better still get in M'sia less than RM40. Most hypermarkets selling.

 

 

how does the whole thing work??

 

it is just a layer covering the seat or we have to change the fabric of our seat ??

it's more of a seat cover. at least those that i saw. my mum bought one for my dad before. but he didn't like it enough to transfer it over from the previous car.

 

i find it a joke, really, cos it folds and crumples. i did try it out a few times when i drove the previous car.

 

i think the best is still ventilated seats :wub:[bounce2]

I have it in my car for 8mths liao. Ya, it cumples quite easily. But it sure does its job of keeping the butt from being 'burned' when you sit on the seat after the car is park under the sun for a long time.. [laugh]
