I completed a SadelSore 2000/KM here down under using a Air Hawk cousing. no problem.

My problem isn't that the OEM seat on my RT isn't uncomfortable; the problem is that on hot days while wearing bluejeans I feel like I'm getting a diaper rash from sweating so much. I don't know if the Airhawk would be good for keeping the butt cooler, or if I should wait until I can see what the sheepskin seats can do when I get to the SpyderFest. And I use powder before riding.

Try a "BeadRider"... Cool & comfortable!

Ahhh, the joys of having Monkey Butt! In all fairness, it is more the individual and the weather that determine how much you sweat and how much it bothers you...not the seat itself. Without other measures almost any seat can feel hot and sweaty...it is how comfortable it is that counts. If it doesn't fit, it will hurt.

There are exceptions. SpyderPops has a seat with ventilated fabric that does pretty well. I forget the brand, ask him. An Alaska Leather sheepskin can help. It seems like this would do the opposite, but it doesn't really. As mentioned, lots of folks swear by the BeadRider. If you don't have a bony butt like mine, it might work for you. That one breathes the best. Talcum powder or Monkey Butt Powder can help. Wicking polypropylene technical undergarments help, too. Just a side note...in the rain wicking undewear works in the opposite direction. If your raingear has a leak, it can soak up water like a sponge. Don't ask how I know.
