Sit-On-Top Kayak Seats
For those who own a sit-on-top kayak, finding the perfect seat can transform your paddling experience. Our extensive selection includes our number one all-time top-selling product: the GTS Expedition Kayak Seat, known for its unparalleled comfort and support. This seat is designed with the serious paddler in mind, featuring 2” thick foam padding on the seat bottom and seat back, a high backrest, and a solid PVC plastic backing that provides firm back support, reducing back pain and fatigue during longer sessions on the water.
Another popular choice is the Pacific Angler Kayak Seat, which is perfect for anglers, offering multiple attachment points for fishing gear and accessories. Combining functionality with style, its ergonomic design ensures you remain comfortable while focusing on the perfect catch.
For those looking for a standard seat at a reasonable price point, the Ocean Kayak Comfort Plus Seat is a fantastic option. This seat is constructed with a durable, UV-resistant nylon fabric and features molded-in channels that help keep you cool and dry. The adjustable straps ensure a snug fit on most sit-on-top kayaks, making it a versatile choice for various paddling styles.
One of the critical aspects of selecting a sit-on-top kayak seat is ensuring it has the necessary connection points, known variously as pad eyes or deck loops or clip anchors (sometimes d-rings are used). If your kayak lacks these, worry not—we offer a range of mounting hardware to help you install your new seat securely. Our team is always ready to provide guidance on installation, ensuring your seat is firmly attached for a safe and enjoyable kayaking experience.
Importance of Back Support in Kayak Seats
When spending extended periods on the water, having a seat with excellent back support is crucial. The GTS series from Surf to Summit is renowned for its superior support, featuring solid PVC plastic backing that maintains its shape and provides consistent support. This design minimizes the risk of back pain and discomfort, allowing you to paddle longer and more efficiently. In addition to the GTS series, a few other seats offer the same solid PVC plastic backing, such as the Ocean Kayak Comfort Zone Seat, a popular choice.
So how do seats without the solid plastic PVC backing stay upright? Generally, such seats come with fiberglass battens sewn into the seat, one running up the edge of the central portion of the seat back. Most kayak seats are made with some type of rugged canvas material covering a foam interior. An example of this type of seat can be seen in the High Back Series from Skwoosh, with the highest seat backs at 20”, including the High Back Lumbar, which comes with a moveable lumbar pad you can adjust to your comfort level. All Skwoosh seats come with the patented gel seat technology sewn into the seat bottom. Seats from Watersports Warehouse are also built with (many different colors) of canvas over foam with fiberglass battens holding the seat back upright. ‘Watspo’ seats can also feature their 1” Comfy Foam in the seat bottom for extra comfort.
For paddlers who require additional support, we offer a selection of cushions and pads as well as lumbar pads to help you reach your maximum comfort level. These accessories can be easily integrated into most kayak seats, enhancing your comfort and reducing pressure on your sits bones and lower back. Whether you're embarking on a short paddle or an extended expedition, our back support solutions ensure you stay comfortable and pain-free.
Sit-Inside Kayak Solutions
Owners of sit-inside kayaks have unique seating needs, and our Sit-Inside Solutions page is dedicated to providing the right products for this style of kayak. Sit-inside kayaks typically require back bands to fit the enclosed cockpit, and our selection caters to these requirements.
The kayak back band is an essential component for sit-inside kayaks, providing support to your lower back and helping you maintain an upright posture. Our range includes adjustable back bands that can be customized to fit your kayak's cockpit, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. These back bands are designed to distribute pressure evenly across your back, reducing fatigue and enhancing your paddling efficiency.
In addition to back bands, we offer a variety of kayak seat pads designed specifically for sit-inside kayaks. These pads are crafted from high-quality materials that provide cushioning and support, ensuring a comfortable ride. The pads are available in different thicknesses and materials, including foam and gel, allowing you to choose the level of comfort that suits you best.
