I'm in the process of restoring a very old canoe and these seats work fantastically. Very easy to adjust and they simply strap onto the existing wicker seating with velcro straps. I know that sounds like a cheap secure job, but the straps are long and strong enough to handle it. I highly recommend these to anyone who just wants a little back support for their canoes. Fisherman, these also have enough give for when you really need to dig back in your pull.

4.0 out of 5 stars Canoe Seat, February 3, 2009

Seat seems to be very well made. They were very comfortable for the five day canoe trip my son and I just made. My only concern is that the hinges are made of a plastic material and I don't know how long that will last as I am 220 lbs and I like to lean back. The thicker seat cushioning was far better than the Crazy Creek seats we have been using and the back adjustment system was easy and did not require the fiddling that the other seats require during the day. I would buy again and highly recommend them.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic multi-use item, November 23, 2009

This review is from: GCI Outdoor SitBacker Canoe Seat (Misc.)

I have the an older version, all one color, and it's an LL Bean model, and I paid more for it than here, but still the basic same.

The split seat really helps it adjust to differing seats if you need it to. I solo trip a lot. My Sit-backer has been a wonderful canoe seat that really helps me spend 12 hours or more on the water if I want to - fishing as well as paddling to get somewhere. It works on the cane seat, and with the spit bottom, it works flat on the bottom of the canoe too against the thwart.

It's also a fantastic camp chair - so I don't have to pack another one.

It's a great portage yoke on my Old Town Pack canoe - I just unstrap it, turn it around, fold it flat, strap it tight, and flip the canoe over onto my shoulders and pack - the sitbacker rest comfortably on my pack. It's basically hands free from that point.

I've used it at sporting events, of course, and it's been a great piece of gear for me for prob. close to 5 years now. will buy another one as needed, definitely.
