    I wonder if Atoys or other shops are doing these. This will be an awesome mod for Philippine hot seats.

    For cooling, first step is to not install a leather seat cover.

    TBH, I am nothing against leather seats basta kaya mo tiisin yung init hehehe
    Pero kung maglalagay ka ng leather seats tapos may mod for cooling, hindi na practical. Similar to installing dark tints tapos papalagay ng HID headlights.

    I am a function over form person kasi.

    What is with german leather? Is germany even known for producing leather? sorry hindi ako familiar sa mga ka-sosyalan eh

    they sell it as leather but its faux leather..

    leather seats with perforations are fine though.. cooled seats in the summer and warm in the winter

    Don't ridicule a man for wanting the feel of a leather car seat, real or otherwise.

    I could actually live with one. But it just so happen that I'm a cheapskate. I can burn P12-13k for leather upholstery for my Innova from SeatMate if I wanted to.

    Changing out the seat covers every 6 months can get old really fast.

    There are cases where a leather, fake or real, is more functional than cloth cover.

    Seatmate quoted me 7,200 for my Mazda 3, but that was 2 years ago na.

    Black leather is hot. Biege is cooler (relatively speaking, to black) but needs constant attention. I've had black leather in my former sedan before and man you need to run the ac for many minutes before you can go in and sit, otherwise the wife gets fried eggs for dinner. Biege (real learher) i had installed in my ex starex and it was ok, did not get hot at all. The faux leather in my present eve does gets more than warm.

    Seat coolers for leather seats? Naaah! Sabi nga "natuto kang lumandi magtiis ka sa hapdi."
