Staying Cool While Rowing...

[hjs]

I often could with heating rowing outside in winter.

You must be getting soft in your old age

Sometimes its very windy, easterwinds come over a very open field. Without wind its always doable

Very common yes. Google Cbreese..

I always thought my old model B provided a pretty good "breeze" on its own because of the "open" nature of the flywheel etc.

I had never seen or heard of that product until this posting...

The concept (no pun) makes sense but do they work?? Are they worth the money??

I have used one for years, and I find that it makes a big difference. When I am away, and row without it, I get overheated quickly.

I'm quite fond of my CBreeze (on my model C). If nothing else, it keeps the air circulation going in the little room I erg in, so when I crack the window open, that fresh
air is circulated and blown towards me. Having enough oxygen around is as important as cooling. I find it easier to do long pieces and race-pace work with cooling and the
Cbreeze saves me having to clutter up the room with fans. Price wise it is a bit on the high side for what it is, but the quality is decent. Havent regretted any investment
I did in my C2 so far (model D handle, Cbreeze, Android link kit). Do be sure that you actually like wind in your face while erging, whilst I love it, a club mate of mine found it
annoying.
