Going from leather back to cloth

Finally some warm weather in the PNW and I’m already missing the leather ventilated seats in my truck. New daily commuter is heated cloth seats. 

This is my number 1 concern.  I use this truck to tow my RV cross country in the summer.  Lots of times, when I climb in the truck I'm sweaty after performing hitch-up and inspection in a hot or humid environment.  My skin type and swamp butt are a bad combination.  Thinking is maybe the cloth will breathe an equivalent amount as ventilated leather, but maybe not...  I do know that non-ventilated leather is a complete non-starter, which, incidentally, rules out almost all European crossovers, which I'm also shopping for for the wifey.

Regardless of seat type - maybe keep a towel around?  I toss one on the seat after boating because I don't want the seats smelling like lake water regardless of what they are made of.

Yeah, I think my passenger seat might be manual adjust - can't recall.  Although honestly power seats are one of those thing I could live without - I'm the only one who ever drives the truck, so the seat gets set in one spot and not moved much for 5-10 years   But full bottom and back heaters.

You must take care of your body.😂😂

I tweek my seat at least every 30 min on drives just so I dont stiffen up from sitting to long.

I rode 1200 miles on a supersport in 2 days, the truck seat is the most comfortable thing on earth
