A conditioned air delivery system for a vehicle seat includes a seat and an air distribution plenum associated with the seat. A seat adjuster is configured to move the seat between multiple positions. An adjustable duct has a fixed duct portion and a movable duct portion that is configured to slide relative to the fixed duct portion as the seat moves between the multiple positions. The adjustable duct is configured to receive air from a conditioned air supply source and supply the air to the air distribution plenum. The fixed duct portion has a first opening and the movable duct portion includes a second opening that is in fluid communication with the first opening. The adjustable duct provides a forward/aft path of longitudinal sliding movement. A seal has terminal ends spaced apart from one another in the forward/aft path. The fixed and movable duct portions and the seal are configured to maintain fluid communication between the first and second openings throughout the longitudinal sliding movement of the seal along the forward/aft path.
