Like Rod and Matthew said, nothing beats a custom seat.

Minicell and custom glass are both great.

Seat backs stink.. Most of them are too tall, encourage you to sit in a slouched posture, and inhibit laying back. Backbands or no seat backs are ideal, IMNSHO!

: Has anyone ever tried using a one piece (seat and back) seat that is
: typically used for sit-on-top kayaks? I'm not looking to make my own seat.
: I've seen some that look like they would work quite well. Any other
: suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks.
