this is my first impresions review of this seat
firstly the official stuff .
Thick, ergonomic foam cushioning, rear pocket; 2 x integral rod
holders, soft neoprene comfort. Excellent lower back support, easy
adjustment, with fitting straps.
The first thing you will notice is the quality superbly made in
every way this seat is marketed as for the Bic kayaks but it will
easily fit to most of the other kayaks available today I fitted it
to the manta 11 and 12 to test it out and it fitted easily to
both
The deep pile and ridges will make this seat very comfortable to use and will offer the user a lot of back support the reason for the ridges is so it drys quickly after use
The rear of the seat has 2 stiff rod holders and a mesh pocket notice also the adjustable top strap fixings this seat has 2 fixing points on the rear straps on the top and bottom of each rear strap
This close up shows how I fitted the top straps to the manta using 2 pad eyes as anchor points you can also see how handy the rod holder could be fixed to each side of the rear of the seat
The front strap fixed in place makes this a very secure seat. Notice the quality clip on the strap and also the neoprene sleeve for tucking in the loose straps this is a great little feature to tidy away the loose webbing
The rear of the seat has 2 fasteners on each strap this
gives maximum adjustability for superb lumber support and also seen
is the large cargo mesh pocket
This is a superbly thought out piece of kit with many small
features like the neoprene sleves on all the straps and 4 way rear
anchor points the large mesh pocket is in just the right position
to be easily reached the rod holders are made from a covered stiff
plastic and the rod easily slides in and out I think Bic have
designed a superb seat with this one and the users will find the
lumber support invaluable on them long days out the seat retails at
£44.99 its brilliant value
