aceman387 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I could use a new seat upgrade in my ride 115 and this one looks nice. Any ride guys on here ever try it out ? The price is a little steep ($350) but it looks well made.http://www.wildernesssystems.com/community/airpro-max-seat Quote
WillKirkgard Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 My friend has purchased this and uses it on his wilderness systems, I'm not sure the specific type of the kayak though. He says he loves it and it feels like a very study/comfortable lawn chair. The only complaint is that the seat (for the price) there is no storage on the back of it, but he says it isn't a deal breaker. Other than that if it gets stuck in the recline position while you're in the seat on the kayak its almost impossible to get out of; also if you're in the high position if you inch forward too much, the seat falls from the high position to low.

MidTNKayakAngler Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 if you're in the high position if you inch forward too much, the seat falls from the high position to low. I have had the Phase 3 Air Pro Max since September and have had no issues, and I've been in the high position and scooted and leaned forward and had no issues. To go from the high to the low you need to take your weight off the seat, lightly lift and pull forward, and to go from low to high you have to pick up your weight lift and pivot rearward. I used the factory seat for about 2 years, and it wasn't bad, but after about a year and a half the cushioning was so compacted there was no cushioning. My kayaks are always stored indoors and in a climate controlled boathouse except when we are on the road so weather shouldn't have anything to do with the compaction of the cushioning, I think it may be my size, and amount of time I've put in the seat. I've only been in the new seat for around 60hrs total since late September, but I've had no issues. Hook 1 did have a large discount on them when they released them, and I also pre-ordered so that may have helped, but I know I didn't pay $350 for my seat. Quote
