I agree 100%.

They have already been producing cool leather in BMW convertibles. Why is it such a stretch to think they couldn't figure it out in boats?

Skier's Choice puts dark vinyl on boats that is tested to be 10 degrees COOLER than normal vinyl.

10 degrees cooler? Okay, so instead of 140°, that dark gray is 130°. Whew, so much better! Nevermind that my old school light gray vinyl is 120°. You know, because it's not damned near black.

because it would make a LOT of sense to heavily advertise a new product that doesn't live up to its claims... That would be fantastic marketing. /sarcasm

And no company in the history of marketing has ever exaggerated claims in order to sell a product.

No, they aren't saying that the chill tech is 10 degrees cooler than black vinyl, they are saying that the chill tech is 10 degrees cooler than LIGHTER COLORED NORMAL vinyl.

So you can get that badass looking dark interior and actually have it cooler than your old school light gray vinyl. Where is the downside?!?!?! (okay, aside from cost. because I already looked into the chill tech to reupholster my boat and I've been told it's a lot more expensive.)

I believe the dark is to be he same as old tech white in same sun. According to measurements and skin-witnesses at the dealer demo.

But again, they’re lying most likely. They’re not going to pull this trick on Shoebox!

I know what they're saying. First, how are you going to verify that it's 10° cooler? Second, I can guarantee that that dark gray "Cool Tech" vinyl is still going to be hot, and way hotter than light gray "Cool Tech" vinyl.

The basic point being, I don't care what you call it, dark gray (or any dark color) vinyl is going to be damned hot in the sun. A little cooler than the exact same shade old school vinyl? Sure. A little cooler than scorching is still scorching.

Pretty sure they have “thermometers.”

Even my light gray and white vinyl gets pretty hot in direct sun so I would be curious to see how cool the new lighter to medium colors stay.

I don't know how it works, but I sat in an all black Mastercraft with their version of this 2 days ago on a fully sunny 89 degree day and it was cooler than the lava-infused dove grey in my boat!

Probably a licensed version of the same stuff. I would imagine that is heavily protected.
