Joule Performance Raid Alcantara
Question about Joule Performance Raid Alcantara
Hello everyone, is the seat made of real Alcantara or also "artificial leather"? What is it like to sweat in summer or when sitting for a long time? How is the finish of the seams? I have often heard that some of the seams are a bit slanted?

The seat is made of Alcantara, although Alcantara itself is never real leather but also an artificial leather. But this is no different in the Lamborghini. The cheeks on the right and left are made of classic imitation leather, but they feel good and not plastic. The seams on the cheeks are neatly stitched and look good, if you look closely the honeycombs on the seat are not 100% straight stitched. There are a few honeycombs that deviate 1-2mm. I don't know about sweating yet as I've only had the chair for a week but I find the slightly rough Alcantara surface more comfortable than non-breathable faux leather.
The seat and backrest are very comfortable, even in warm weather. However, the neck and lumbar cushions are both quite hot. Would be much more pleasant in Alcantara material.
