Stay Frosty with the Thanko Water Cool Car Seat

The one thing people dread about getting into the car during the summer is the burning sensation of a hot leather seat; but with the Thanko Water Cool Car Seat, things are about to change.

Sure, you can leave the windows open, but let’s face it, you’re letting in hot air. Air conditioning is a great solution, but it takes forever to start up. The Thanko Water Cool Car Seat is a cushion that’s connected to a pump that you can fill with ice cold water. According to OhGizmo!, this can “cool a seat from upwards of 60℃ down to 28℃” and it’ll keep cool for up to eight hours. You need to connect it to a cigarette later to activate the pumping mechanism and you can use it at home by powering it with an adapter. This could be worth an investment to prevent the bum from burning.
