The R model is made specifically for men. The air bubbles are placed to give a bit more room for "The boys". My wife uses a 2 model.

Any model will work...but see R model above.
I have used the older Medium and it works fine for me on the Spyders. Inflation is the key. You are supposed to sit "in" it and not "on" it. Once you get that figured out, it is a great pad. And yes, it will protect you from the heat if you don't let it bake in the sun also.

If the hot seat is the only issue then a sheepskin cover will help with that. I have an airhawk R and my wife prefers the sheepskin cover on the passenger seat. If you get the Airhawk remember it IS NOT a beach ball. Start with just a couple of big puffs of air and adjust from there. It should look and feel flat, but just a bit of air works perfectly. Lots of folks over inflate and then don't like the ride which is fine with me because I have bought several Airhawks pretty cheaply when they claim the pad didn't help and then they sell it.

Sheepskin is also a good alternative. We also have sheepskin/gel. The hype about sheepskin (I used to sell car and motorcycle seats) is it keeps you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
Lots of places to get them. Just search sheepskin seats on here. P. S. Get the real stuff. Artificial does not retain its thickness very long.
Be wary of "genuine, simulated, sheepskin."

I understand the shape of the R is for the "boys", but the R cushion really seems to fit better on the pillion seat on our RT. With the shape of the cutout, it fits around the "hump" between the seats. My wife tired both, but likes the R better as a passenger. We use the medium R cushion front and rear.
Yes, adjusting the air to ride "in" the seat not "on" the seat is the real key. It takes some fiddling, but it worth the effort.

I’ve got an air hawk that I use in the cool months, when it’s summer time, I take it off and put a bead rider on. Wife and I both love it, not sure how it works, but it does.

Also which size (Lrg. or small for the passenger seat) fits best.
Thank you in advance for your words of wisdom.
