    Default Could this be adapted to the Spyders???

    I can't speak for the quality of these units; I just wonder if some backyard engineer in here could build a personalized cooling unit, for riding our Spyders.

    we had the way larger units at work and you would have to run cold water thru them to make it worth using. Other than that warm humid air would blow on you.

    I dont think that would work at all on a bike. You be better off using a spray bottle and spray water on you to cool off.

    Redneck engineering could back pack it with a ducted jacket of sorts (jacket would need internal supports to keep off body for air flow), power from a 12VDC inverter. U may end up looking like a sumo wrestler but could be done worth doing? Na not when you could just

    You would be better off turning your shirt into an evaporative cooler by spraying it with water. Just keep a spray bottle with water in your trunk. Use as needed.

    I bought a double insulated water bottle from Dick's Sporting Goods. It has a drinking spout and also a sprayer. Fits nicely in my handlebar drink holder. Plan is to use it to spray body and neck while riding. Cost 10 bucks so not a huge investment for a little cooling experiment.....

    I test drove a Dodge last year that had air-conditioned seats! The perforated leather let cold air flow out. It was wonderful!

    Here, this would be better and it's already commercially available.

    If it ain't broke, don't break it.
