This Ocean Kayak Comfort Plus Seat is sturdy, supportive and incredibly versatile. It’s best feature is the adjustable back.
This seat was a breeze to strap in and simple to remove. The straps have solid, sturdy brass swivel buckels and the seat holds weight well.
Our seat got quite wet when we took it on a test ride. But, the ventilation of the nylon meant we stayed mostly dry.
We loved that we could easily adjust the straps to fit most of our kayaks.
It works for both sit on top and some sit in kayak models.
What sets this seat apart is that the back can be adjusted to any angle, from straight to more relaxed. We loved being able to lean the seat back for less serious trips.
The back provided excellent support, especially for our short team members, which allowed us to stay on the water longer. However, it might not be enough support for taller kayakers.
Unfortunately, the seat itself doesn’t offer very much padding for your butt. We cut some foam padding and used Velcro to attach it to the bottom of the seat – easy fix!
Also, on some of our kayaks, the bottom, which is quite slick, tended to slip around a bit. However, we found that if we tightened the straps right, this held the seat in place better.
This is a good seat for expanding a single kayak into a tandem for a child, friend or even pet.
