Pick the best item, but you can pick up to three of them.
This is a never ending poll, and you can change your vote any time.
Include any details in the comments.

Personally I don't use anything, but am thinking to use a fan or remove the screen from the cage.
However, the cage primarily blows on one side on the Bike.

you left out "open garage door" as an option.

Once you try a fan on a hot, humid day you'll always want one. I have mine pointing at my back. I use it about 1/2 the time in the summer. It can get me too cold, but when i need it it's wonderful.

I have two fans on me at all times now, one in front of me for face and upper chest offset at about ten degrees. When on the rower the one facing me is on chair, when on the bike I have made a shelf for it. I have a bigger one behind me on a stand for my back and shoulders. I use it when either on the bike or rower.
It makes the whole event very comfortable and deffo stops the sweat pouring off me on cycles and rows.
I sweat within two mins without them.

I have an 18 inch fan blasting on my face / upper torso. I've tried it on my back, but I prefer it on my front despite you physiologically getting a better cooling effect from your back.

My rower is outside so an appeal to the weather gods for a cooling breeze in summer is the best I can do - not sure it works though!!
Much prefer rowing in the winter.

I sweat a lot and I have actually developed a simpler version of a cbreeze - though quite different and much simpler. Attach it to the erg and it directs a major part of the air to the rower. I use it everytime I row (except for competition).

I don’t know quite how to commercialize it and hence I have kept it a secret for a year. Do you think there is a market (5£)?

Cannot beat a 750mm industrial floor fan sitting in front of you that is slightly offset. Pretty much only needs to be on the lowest speed setting as the difference it makes is incredible. It sits just inside the garage door so with the door up even a foot or so its sucking in outside fresh air as well.

Fan helps a lot
