Unpressurised Aircraft Hulls normally have Reduced Pressure inside compared to Outside. Exhaust fumes etc can leak in from Many Places . Having  adequate outside Air vents directed to your face Must Be an advantage. It helps some from getting Airsick as well. Nev

You might want to rethink using a standard household CO alarm in an aircraft. Household or travel CO alarms are calibrated for standard atmospheric pressures at ground level.

The varying air pressures and altitudes experienced during flight can make them highly unreliable, causing false alarms, or they fail to detect dangerous gas levels altogether.

 

You should be purchasing a CO alarm that is designed for aircraft. The units designed for aircraft have inbuilt altitude compensation, detect lower levels of CO, so pilots can be warned in advance of being poisoned, to the extent that their reactions and responses are being affected - and they have more audible alarms, that can be heard over engine and wind noise.

 

Some worthwhile information in this link - https://www.sportys.com/blog/carbon-monoxide-pilots-need-know/?srsltid=AfmBOopmnwuQxMOcVJ8MAFbs5kXEq1JGxKJhZaGI2hB_-v6Q9N5qJSj4

jabs have good air vents. can be cold though.

Worse in a Drifter on a cold day or a Tiger moth at FL150 in winter.  They climb higher in Winter. Nev

I bought a couple online but in the end found an RAAus one in the glovebox of the plane along with a PLB. I just had to put two CR2032 batteries in. We took it on our last flight and was happy to see a zero reading.

I've never been cold in a Drifter.....

Ok, maybe once or twice.

Kind of reminds one of Mawson preparing to step back into his hut, after an Antarctic expedition! 😄

So is nude skydiving but I don't do that just like I don't fly a drifter or a Tiger moth.
