Core Temperature Controls (coretemperaturecontrols.com)

Has anyone tried these units? They use a thermostat which controls fluid that is pumped through specially made clothing. The fluid temperature can be adjusted over a wide temperature range taking the place of both heated and cooling clothing.

You are right about the price. Yikes!:agree: However, if you tour a lot and this system can both keep you warm in the winter (10 degrees in Colorado) and cool in summer (110+ degrees in Death Valley), maybe it would be worth the cost? A smart person would go to Colorado in the summer and Death Valley in the winter anyway.

I was just looking at the EntroSys Motorcyclist Air Conditioning System from BikeAirUSA. It appears to have the same reason for being (heating and cooling a rider) as the CTC system and it costs $1500.00. This price does not include the special clothing required to make the system work.

If anyone has any experience with either system, please let us know. By the way, these systems are expensive, but put in the context of some of the other farkles we put on our bikes (a new seat can cost over $1000.00 dollars, an Aerostitch riding suit $1600.00, etc.) the prices start to look less scary.
