if it didn't look like my grandpa bought it in 1940 i would give it a try but its just too "gay looking" for me. but ya i looked into one when they first came out but it def. needs a redesign. something to make it look more like a Targa tail cover for an F4....basically more streamlined for a bike instead of a big square eyesore.

I remember years ago when a MC rag had a write up on ridding across a desert in the worst heat. They soaked a snowmobile suit in water and started riding. They said that they could control how hot or cool the rider was by how much they unzipped the suit. In the end the rider had to zip the suit way up as he was getting to cold.
That goofy gizmo on the back of the bike looks stupid and you would only use it maybe for 2 hours on one day of the year. I would much rather turn heads by wearing a snowmobile suit in the heat of the summer and getting off and saying to someone," OMG! It's cold out, don't you think?"

You could mount the aircon unit in a back box, and shove the hose in your pants - that'd give you frosty nuts for sure ! 
I like the freezer suit - I spoke to some Aussies, and they suggested
1 Remove jacket
2 Wet shirt under garden hose/bucket/etc
3 Replace jacket
It's said that you'll be dry in about 70 miles and would have to do it again, but you'll be good to go for that long.
Given the temps in Aussie, I believe them......
