Clearly we've either evolved to no longer need said ventilating, or we've forgotten our naughty bits need to chill now and then 🥶

Mind you, "cooled" seats may be auto designers way to bringing back "features" of the old vent 😆

This has to be a joke, a gag gift, a bachelor party gift, there is no way this can be real! I refuse to believe anyone in the world would order such a thing. There's no way, this is real!

Ladies, if you get into a man's vehicle and you see one of these, don't walk run in the other direction.

Sadly, it is. But it’s a derivative of what the actual product is… an attachment for a jacket.

...Police use the version you posted to cool the torso, when wearing a bullet proof vest. I know plenty who use these. Try wearing a vest In 105-110 degree days, then walk around outside, wrestle, or chase someone.
I have seen one of these in action before shoved down the officer’s vest, was like WTF??
Most officers still wear their ballistic vests under the uniform shirt. On humid, 95+ degree days, once you get your core temperature up and start sweating under that vest (usually the first call of the shift), it is very hard to cool back down, much less dry out under that thing. The vest is a heck of an insulator. I never used one of these "body armor vents", but I sure wish they were a thing when I wore a vest every day.

Some departments now have ballistic vests that are worn over the uniform shirt. Many of them are designed to look just like the shirt, so you can't even tell the vest is being worn on the outside. If you get hot, take the outer vest off and sit in the AC for a bit...problem solved.

One of my co-workers wore one of the outer vests to a meeting with staff in an attempt to persuade them to let us use them on the motorcycle unit. It matched our uniform shirt very nicely. He carried a second vest into the meeting. The staff looked the carried one over, scowled, and said they thought it would look too unprofessional. That is when he admitted he was wearing one. They hadn't even noticed. Request...denied.

This is exactly what I would expect will sell given the target demographic are Bronco owners.

This is also proof that Bronco owners will buy literally any accessory to make their shitbox look more custom.
I don't disagree, entirely, but the plethora of Wrangler-specific baubles and doodads sold on Amazon and eBay, and occasionally evident in photos posted on this site, makes it very plain that Jeep owners occupy the same market.

Angry grilles, branded coolers, footwear...

Be aware of ricochets when throwing stones. ;)

Although odd at face value, when taking the broad view, it's really not so far out in left field. For many years, motorcyclists like myself have used heated gear to extend the riding season. There are considerable parallels:

Heated steering wheel? Heated grips and/or heated gloves and/or purpose-built handguards (I use all three).
Heated seats? Heated saddle.
Heated jacket (via dashboard vent)? Electric liners; this being what I currently wear.
Here’s the video: (it’s the red JK owner, not the JL like I thought.




Honestly I just look at the guy and go. “This guy takes his Jeeping lifestyle VERY seriously”.

9:40 yeah that's some dedication especially in Colorado. I think I'm doing just the opposite; leave the doors on, crank up the heat and roll the window down, I'm toasty warm in a t-shirt. 😁
