In Response To: S&G: Seats , creature comfort or ??? (John Lasky)

: Good morning again,

: thanks for the help with my paddle carving tool post.

: Next up for me is getting the seat in my Merganser 17W more
: comfortable. MOSTLY the BACK BAND!

: the main problem is My backband just never seems to stay in place
: and Im always with my back pressed up against rear coaming (get
: sore after a few hours)

: My bottom pad is A HOT SEAT (Grande size) the seat pad is fine, the
: backband has always been a painful problem!!!

: My temporary solution at the end of last season was to fabricate a
: backband out of conveyor belt and screwed into directly ino
: coaming to keep it straight up/doawn,

: I padded the top of it with pipe insulation so it doesnt cut into
: the small of my back.

: Im wondering if the creature comfort seat or perhaps another type
: like it would offer a better solution? What I Like on CREATURE
: COMFORT seat is the fact the backband is part of the seat (sewn
: onto the assembly) thus the backband appears that it would stay
: in place.

: Sit on top seat perhaps?????????

: your thoughts please

: "John"

btw, this is turning into a really good topic :)
