Product Overview
The ERS3 Hypercool is the world’s first reclining sim racing seat featuring a fully integrated active cooling system. It comes with six embedded high-flow cooling fans—three in the seat base and three in the backrest—designed to keep sim racers cool and sharp through intense, long sessions. This plug-and-play seat is finished in breathable SIMAERO Mesh fabric, uses cold-molded foam, and boasts a patent-pending dual recliner mechanism and pre-installed seat sliders for smooth adjustability and strong support.
Leading Features
- The ERS3 Hypercool features six high-flow internal cooling fans—three in the seat base and three in the backrest—to deliver constant airflow where it matters most. Choose between two fan settings and stay cool, focused, and in control from start to finish.
- Designed for both performance and adaptability, the double locking recliner mechanism ensures precise angle adjustment and rock-solid support, even under heavy load cell braking. The included dual seat sliders allow easy forward and backward movement, making it ideal for shared cockpits or commercial sim centers.
- Wrapped in breathable SIMAERO Mesh & Fabric, the ERS3 Hypercool promotes airflow and resists heat buildup, even during marathon sessions. With an all-in-one factory finish, this is the first true plug-and-play ventilated sim seat—no DIY mods, no exposed wiring, just pure immersion and innovation for sim racing.
- Official FIA Licensed Product developed to meet the highest standards of sim racing.
