Katzkin also makes cooled seat covers, though I don't know the cost.
I have a Jeep Wrangler with tan cloth seats and they never get too hot or cold. I also have a BMW 3 sedan with black leatherette (vinyl) seats and it's fine in the summer, although it's not a convertible. I'm in MD where the...
The heated/cooled covers look awesome. Probably have to go with XT leather option to make sure you have good water resistance if you want to fine with rain and rinsing it.
I think that's only an issue if you're leaving the car outside with the top off for awhile. I had a convertible with tan leather seats and never had a problem just driving around in the sun.

But look at all the different colors of Wranglers on the road. Certain cars/buyers are more amenable to individual styles. Ford would have no problem selling Broncos in a broad color spectrum.

My son has a Jeep wrangler with tan cloth seats. Never gets hot and is very comfortable. Sprayed scotch guard on it and it has held up well, but have never been caught topless in the rain. I have a BMW 3 series with leatherette seats. Perfectly comfortable, durable and easy to clean. Still looks...
