Surf to Summit Outfitter Kayak Seat Standard Pack JIR2L_IL060

Product details:

The standard Outfitter kayak seat was the first of this series to be developed to fill the need for a good performing back support while providing a great value for the money. The Outfitter series kayak seats are the strongest longest lasting kayak seats that Surf To Summit makes. This seat series was originally designed for rental and instructional kayak programmes. With that in mine the quest was to make a kayak seat that could withstand the use and abuse typical of a commercial kayak fleet. To say that commercial kayak seats get worked is an understatement to say the least. The Outfitter seat design is in essence, fairly basic. The seat is compression moulded under 60 tonnes of pressure and baked at 400 degrees, thereby permanently bonding the fabric to the foam. This process makes these kayak seats last considerably longer that any cut and sewn kayak seat. The goal was to utilise the webbing as somewhat of a support belt that went around the kayaker, eliminating the stress points associated with sewing, through strategically determined die cut channels. This would encapsulate the webbing at optimum leverage points and eliminate any potential failure due to sewing blowouts. This lacing helps lock the moulded foam face of the kayak seat to the heavy duty PVC plastic reinforcement back. This flexible rear plastic panel, the part that gives the paddler all the structure and support, is sewn with thread that is so thick it's called cord, to the face as well. This insures that the seat will probably last longer than your boat. Another advantage to this laced webbing system is it facilitates webbing replacement in the rare event of a failure. The Tall Back Outfitter kayak seat is 33cm high making the seat great for larger paddlers or for someone that wants maximum support. It is extremely easy to adjust and attach to the kayak. This seat has a generously sized zipper pack that detaches from the seat.
