Regardless of the quality, you end up dropping a load getting one.

Karen:

Now - for a serious response (!). I installed one last fall - Got the unit from Stable Energies in NJ. Absolutely worth it -- I use it every time I'm on the track, independent of the temperature. It makes a big difference for me.

Counterpoint. I never use my helmet blower. The cool suit system on the other hand is my favorite mod. Especially for track days in our crazy hot Florida climate, it makes the driving experience so much more enjoyable.

So how does the cool suit help your head? When I got out of the car after my last run, I think my clothes stayed in the seat!!

My cool suit shirt has a hood which keeps my head cool.
