Very old picture ...but I made my prior two wheelchairs into a convertible with roll up sun shade roof. Contemplating building 3d printed air conditioner for current chair. It also had a built in usb seat warmer lol.

I sweat immediatly & get shortness of breath in the FL heat. My hair is just dripping from sweat. I never use to sweat my whole life. I sweat mostly from my head & neck.
