Lavika Canoe Seat Back

I have owned four canoes in my life - an Alumacraft, two Old Towns, and now, a Pelican 15.5 with the middle seat. That canoe has a seat with a support leg in the middle with was prohibitive for my other seat backs. I bought this back because it looked like the ones marketed through Pelican.Works well. Very comfortable and solid. It also folds up in itself for storage. Nice little feature.For solo folks like me, I canoe "backwards" sitting in the front seat. This seat back works well in that application as well. It can be a little snug at first but then it settles in. Very comfortable. FYI - you can't fit a traditional seat pad/life preserver in this seat but if you wanted some padding, a little knee pad (closed cell foam) might work well for that. I don't use any padding as the seats in this canoe are comfortable.

Great product that did just what it was supposed to. It stayed on during portages and gave me the support I needed to travel 15 miles into the boundary waters. Just one thing that was not perfect. At the top of the back support was a ridge. After 9 hours of paddeling, that ridge left a bruse from constent rubbing.

This is an excellent canoe seat back. Very convenient, lightweight, durable and sturdy.I have successfully used it on Old Towne and Mad River wooden/cane canoe seats. It is very supportive and comfortable (unlike other seat back options I have tried). I am 6'1" and 170 lbs. and fit very comfortably in the seat back.Highly recommended over replacement seats and other seat back options. No concerns about shipping or packaging.

Saves the back when canoeing. Also works of stadium seats during football season, and you cant beat the weight!The seats have a hook to secure them when folded, awesome.
