While sheepskin works, a terry towel cloth cover is just as effective for a lot less change.

I had sheep skin in both my Bonanza and Baron, like Deems said below, and it solved the problem for me. If you look at the Corporate jet jockeys that's what many of them have also. There's a fellow on my field that could make a set for anyone that wanted them. He did my interior and does good work.

I don’t mean to sound like a smarty pants, but why would you cover up your nice seats with a towel or sheep skin. If the heat is a problem shouldn’t you pick another material for your seats? It just seams counter productive to put expensive leather in and then cover it up. Use a top quality cloth fabric and not have the heat issue. Fill me in here, I guess I am in the dark.

That's not sweat - you're just "glowing" (g)
Have you considered one of those Chest Cooler portable air conditioners? You would only need it during the Summer and it shouldn't be a weight issue for Florida local flying.

I pondered this while I was choosing my seat fabric. The leather
looks really good, but I know how hot it gets on the thighs in
shorts in the summer, and how sweaty-a$$ doesn't always go well
with leather seats, so I used Faux leather on the outer panels,
but cloth in the center. It keeps it more comfortable in the
sun, and the fabric of course will be less prone to cracking
in the long run. Leather does look beautiful though...but
I'd feel bad covering it up all the time.

Downside to cloth seats is that it is difficult to clean. Having leather with a throwover cloth cover allows for easy cleaning, and only use cover for temperatures that the leather isn't comfortable.

Firstly, thanks for all the great responses. One thing I've learned is that getting in and 'sliding' down, without leather I get one giant wedgie!!! So I like the leather overall. I've tried the cooler type A/C and frankly it's a PIA and doesn't cool enuf. I'll look into the vests-I wonder how comfortable they would be sitting (things gouging in your back??) I've used them at work (standing) and they do work, but someone else was taking care of all the equipment!! I'll try the terry cloth--would love to have something like a 'sock' that would slide over rear seat once in. I've looked on line at the A/C portable unit that will work on 12v, but really would like to see it in action, and not sure it will have umph to blow air from the baggage compartment forward.
Just got back from short trip to NC, 75 degrees at 6000, 72% power and oil temp 187 max,190 in climb. Large oil cooler and louvers work wonders. larry b

What we did in the Saratoga was sheep skin centers and the rest leather
worked out great. And here in California we do see a lot of HOT summers.

Did you install the louvers on just the bottom of the cowl or both the
bottom and sides of the cowl. Being here in California summers are always
in high 90 and low 100 during the day. So cooling will be most important.

standard louvers underneath, and then also on the sides. the combo with larger oil cooler works so well you need way to moderate the cooling in winter. butter-fly valve in the 4 inch scat tube works great. i would do the same combo again without hesitation. lbb
