Does it work? | Checking out the O-Rouge Air Cooled Sim Racing Seat

[@andreamasiero3329]

Ehy Dave, you didn’t mentioned the noise. How is it with the fan speed maxed out?

[@davecamyt]

Really good. You can hear it but my mic doesn't pick it up 👍

[@leepartyboy666]

David….. At the beginning you state “I’m a sim racer, just like you”. I’ve been checking our lap times (I’ve just got a mortgage on a place on a place in bottom split). We are not the same 😂😂

[@catzbunn]

For that price may as well just rig up a cool shirt system like we had in our race cars.

[@woldenracing7370]

EASILY done for HALF the price too. That chair is bunch of hot air for that price. 😂

[@gravewalker8723]

looked good until price, gulp can get a full sim racing set up for that

[@broerrasta6096]

Verrry expensive, might even consider buying a ventilated car seat and a bit diy :P

[@DarthRayvonGaming]

It really does sound like something every sim racer needs….. but i cant possibly understand how its worth spending the thick end of a grand more than my gtomega RS6(yeah im entry level on the rig) and fan pointing at the groin. Surely going to be something other manufacturers are gonna make cheaper at some point, definitely a market for it.

[@doug_vickers]

It really is a nice looking seat. I have cooled seats in my car and they are an absolute must for the hot weather. I certainly wouldn't get the use of of one of these but it's great to look at nice things and wish I had them.

[@mrj3217]

Exactly how much free sim hardware have you recevied? Just wanted to know. Thanks.

[@FraserElphick]

Is it compatible with a kilt? I'd hate to get frost nip!

[@chrisparry4461]

Totally unrelated so apologies, I noticed your not running the bezel free kit? Any reason why? I’ve just bought the SSP kit off Etsy and going to set it up this weekend

[@matta2738]

They are more hassle then what its worth

[@FG_SIMRACING]

@@matta2738INDEED. When are monitor makers gonna make 1 big screen like triples but without bezels. With Ultrawide you still can’t see sides so it’s not like triples

[@chrisracing81]

@@matta2738no big hustle, working like a charme for me with 32‘

[@chrisparry4461]

@@chrisracing81 fitted mine over weekend and no hassle at all!

[@kOBR4one]

Okey. I had this for about 6 months. It’s cooling is just superior. BUT the ergonomics ain’t the best. My sparco is way more comfortable. And the noise is a bit much from the fans. Even said that. I still use the O-Rouge seat for that long endurance sessions.

[@ugccrawl6850]

I just realized you're not in Australia. I'm not sure why I always thought that.

[@sky194]

Nice, and I agree with your assessment as far as how much time that particular sim racer spends on the seat. Side note hope you don't have a headache as it looks like to hit your head on something. Take care Mate!

[@KuSQ3N]

Watercooled seat? Any companies? Not Linus 😅

[@kidMclean]

Look great think I would buy one😊

[@DanMirkz]

Do the fans blow into ur body or draw air out ? (aka. if you drop your guts racing does it disperse it into the room quickly ?)

[@davecamyt]

It'd be like a cloud in front of your eyes 😂

[@ettorebugatti6846]

Buy an A8, S-Class passenger seat (from a previous generation), they all have massage and ventilation, you can’t go wrong. Passenger is usually cheaper. I bought mine for 50€. Buy a cheap PSU and use the 12V rail, works like magic. But that’s just me

[@FOGDaheee]

Was thinking exactly the same.

[@flipcoin6301]

Just race commando to air out your bits

[@pinpoint_uk]

That’s a lovely seat bit out of my price range I badly need a seat aswell I made a Rick buying the GT -OMAGA I can’t sit in it more than hour hurts my back but can’t do nothing about it atm need to save up for one. On another note I just won my 1st Iracing race only had 4 races 😎 faerie GT challenge next u wanna sell me one of your seats 😉

[@FG_SIMRACING]

won’t we catch a cold ? 😶‍🌫️🥶🤧

[@mrj3217]

I am glad I am not the only one who sweats while racing. I have the Trak racer recliner seat and it gets very hot so I bought a 30 dollar 3 fan USB powered fan for car seats I place that on the back section so it blows right on my mid back, and those wooden seat beads that keep your body off the hot seat material so air can flow. $40 dollars + $299 for seat. Combined with a rotatinf floor fan and you saved yourself about $1000 USD. Sorry man but this is not worth the cost.

[@robcampbell6099]

As long as it doenst die in 6 months like Dan Suzuki's has.

[@davecamyt]

I wasn't aware Dan had issues

[@robcampbell6099]

@DaveCamYT Ya, he mentioned it on stream a week or 2 ago. someone asked how it was working and he said it doesn't really work well anymore

[@davecamyt]

I have spoken to O-Rouge about this and the cooling effect gets a little less after a while, because the new cushions will be compressed over time. But that is something that was factored in from the beginning. Even after intensive use, the cooling should be more than sufficient 👍

[@eetuli85]

A thousand euros you say? I'm sure it's good but that's crazy amount of money for a seat.

[@markb1402]

I enjoy watching your videos but to be fair no matter how deep your products are £1k is a ridiculous price for a seat. I have an air con unit in my man cave and that was £500 and i bet you its far more effective than a seat with 4 fans.

[@jzmmm]

so like 2k aud... i guess i'lll keep driving with sweaty nuts

[@elliott823]

You do realize the number of toys/tools you get to run from vendors, you might as well be driving a real car at this point. I'd tune in.

[@beeezy]

No more cheeky cheeks

[@jellybiscuit]

Head bolsters on sim seats make no sense to me.

[@WaskiLP]

Just too pricey. Especially if I hear Dan that his own isnt cooling that much anymore after some time of use
