Kayak seat x500 Itiwit 1P or 2P

There are so many faults with this seat. It is not secure and will detach in a capsize. When tucked under the coaming as instructed, it's leant backwards and provides no back support, worse, the edge of the coming is not cushioned and will quickly bruise your back as you press against it. They break at the hinge. The top of the seat back damages the bladder behind it, causing punctures on many kayaks unless protected with foam tape. It works a little better if installed upright, not hooked under the coaming giving some support,greater comfort and not damaging the bladder, but can be lost easily as it's not secure. Far better to replace it with a generic kayak seat attached to the ends if the footer straps - so much more practical and a third of the price. A terrible design on an otherwise great kayak.

Had one of these replaced under warranty when the hinge material ripped after about 15 uses. The seat is also thoroughly uncomfortable after more than an hour or two. If you roll the boat, the seat base will float out of the attachment points. Try getting it back in while you're getting back in the boat, or when you're sitting on it, without ending up back in the water. Really hoping Itiwit release an upgraded seat that will be more comfortable and will grip the attachments points more firmly.
