seat cover for AZ heat
Can anyone recommend a seat cover that will stop me from sweating through my shirt if I put the top down on my 3 minute drive to the grocery store?
I've seen threads about the Wet Okole neoprene covers...I'm guessing they don't heat up, but they probably don't breathe either, which means I'll be sweating away still. Anyone have them?
Thanks!

My God man...I drove around for almost an hour yesterday, top down no problems. I only drive top down unless it is raining or snowing - little (2 bar) or no A/C either. I do cover the cockpit with a cover craft cover when I go into stores since I leave the boot cover on.
I checked out the Wet Okole seats and had samples sent. I don't think they will do anything, but give you a different feel. Although they wouldn't heat up as quickly from direct sunlight. If YOU get hot from driving around their seat covers can't make it that much cooler. Think about neoprene wet suits. Do they breathe? However, they are waterproof which may give me a reason to drive top down in the rain now
The only thing I have seen that might work is sheepskin seats. We met up with a couple in Parker, they followed us up to Lake Havasu, that had personalized sheepskin covers.
BTW, are you the Sebring owner I handed a car to from my SUV on Southern one day?

What can I say...I'm a sweaty sweaty man. I'm not into the sheepskin thing, so I guess I'll keep looking.
Walkabt - That wasn't my Sebring, I haven't seen one in the valley since I moved here I don't think.
While we're on the subject, who drives the Red ('01 I think) that I've seen a few times near 202 and Scottsdale Rd?

I have a red, but I don't drive the car that much. I did drive it everyday last week, but I don't think I was on the 202. I was on the 101, 60, and 10.
I am in Tempe/Chandler.
