Seems pretty pricey, especially for not having a pack.
They tout 2'' of foam on the seat. My Crazy Creek highback seat has 2'' of foam on the seat and it was 1/3 the price. I have this seat for all 4 of our kayaks. Love it.

Hey Tote, is the seat you have the SOT Kayak Chair II or is it the III model?

Yea but is it "PRO THERMAL MOLDED FOAM" :smt013

Thanks Mike I will check it out. It's just I really like the Tall Back Outfitter that Sean sold me 3 yrs and no sign of wear other than a little fading which is my fault for leaving it in the back of the car. I noticed that the better seats hold your legs in a better position, I was going to buy the GTS Elite saw this seat and I was wondering if the lower back made any difference?

It is the crazy Creek II. It is the highback, not the medium back. BIG difference. It has a pack on the back that they say it is to fit a camel back.  I looked at the ones with inflatable seats and didn't care for them personally. If I leaned to one side or the other the air in the seat would shift making the side less favored higher then the side I was leaning towards. This pushed me a little off balance. Plus if  a hook got into the inflatable seat it would make for a long sore ass day.

I'm a little confused here.  On the website the CC II looks like a medium back and the CCIII looks like a high back.  I can't find a CCII that looks to have a high back.

And both of them have 1.5" padding on the seat, not 2", in case that extra 1/2 inch makes a difference to you.

I got my new seat yesterday bought 2 of the reg. GTS Elites  :smt007 with fishing pak $180 with shipping from E-Bay. I guess Surf to Summit has a E-bay store where they sell Customer returns but both my seats are brand new. Thought it might be a second but I went over it well and I don't see anything. Sold 1 for $90.
