Crazy Creek kayak seat This is my first impressions of this seat. The first thing you notice is how well it’s designed and put together everything is double stitched and of high quality components and materials. In the above photo you will notice the thick padded seat so it should be very comfortable the whole seat is made from 600d coated polyester. On the back of the seat is a zippered accessory pack I think this would be a great place for the first aid kit or flares. There are plenty of adjustment straps and buckles so it can be adjusted to fit just about any s.o.t. kayak There are 4 brass clips for attaching the seat to the kayak but 4 plastic ones have also been provided so it’s your choice which you use. The back of the seat gets its strength from 2 flat rigid bars but what’s good about these is the way they are used in this seat they are encased in webbing and have leather type material on the bottom of the bars so you wont get the bars coming through which we have all suffered from with some seats this has been well addressed with this seat . this seat sells for £29.95 from h2o it must be mentioned that this seat can be detached from the kayak and used as a stand alone camp or beach chair www.h2okayaks.com/unitrader/shop/product/Crazy-Creek-S-O-T-Kayak-Chair-II-Black-/92we have asked buddy to take and use this seat and add to this review once he has used it a few times .

I might just be tempted to buy one. The standard seat on my Elite dosen`t offer much back support.

When I spoke with Neil today he said they had had problems with postage and had reduced mine from £9.50 to £1. Still for a next day service. Excellent customer service.
The high backed version is £36 and has a slightly diferent kit bag on the back.
