GCI Outdoor SitBacker Adjustable Canoe Seat with Back Support

This product exceeded our expectations. The son and I decided to do a few nights canoeing down the Colorado River this last spring. It was truly a lifetime experience. The beauty and rawness of the area is truly something to see. The canoe that we rented advertised that they had seats built in but we decided to buy these for a little extra comfort. Boy, are we glad we did! The hardback plastic seats that were on the canoes absolutely sucked and were not forgiving. Meanwhile these seats, which we placed over the seat support, were padded and comfortable. The bulk of the back support comes from the adjustable strap and we found that to be truly comfortable you cinched down the strap to a more upright angle than you may normally have thought necessary. They strap down and are solidly in place even if you have to move around and there is no chance of losing the seat in a capsize or other unplanned event. Several others in our group expressed their regret at not buying the same seats my son and I did. After the trip they have found continued and regular use as stadium seats. In that capacity they are a little less convenient than some models which simply “hook” onto the bleachers. These seats strap down to the bleachers by means of a buckle/strap assembly. It’s very solid and reliable but a tiny bit more effort than a hook on seat is necessary. This doesn’t bother me in the least but may be worth considering if you are using this exclusively as a stadium seats.

背もたれ付きカヌー用シートは検索しても選択肢は少なく海外レビュー評価も良いので購入してみました。着脱は簡単で固定ベルトの調整幅は広く特殊艇でなけれは大体のカナディアンカヌーに装着出来ると思います。ちなみに当方所有の5艇には全て取付け可能で追加購入検討中。使用感はクッション性も良く好みの角度で背中を支えてくれて良好ですがベルトで背面を支える構造なので体重の重い方が思いっきり寄りかかるのには不向きかもしれませんけどコンパクトで軽量のほうが評価できます。背もたれ部分を畳んだ状態で座る事も可能で背面畳んだ状態簡易ロック機能があるのでカヌー装着したままでも車体干渉せずに車載できました。あえてマイナス点を探せば受注してからの輸入品だったので価格は高めで手元に届くまで日数はかかりましたが快適なので星5としました。

I bought two of these, one for me and one for my son. Before I could use mine I gave it to my son whose had already broken. (straps). Two weeks later it broke in the same spot. Sitbacker???? Don't sit back.

Love this thing. Comfortable, light, high quality. Doesn't interfere with paddle. Great for long paddles or fishing.

I've got a ultra light Swift Prospector 14 Kevlar Open canoe and wanted a light solid back seat rest and this one gets good reviews the price here was lower than any other advertised as well and the reviews are right the seat is exactly what I wanted it's well made and sturdy and fits in seconds it also has next to no weight the only thing it doesn't have that would be handy is a way of keeping it in the folded position if you wanted to leave it in your canoe when you transport it so I use reusable tie wrap to hold the seat folded down when its on my car I can highly recommend this seat system.
