Hobie Vantage Seat vs Older Model Seat
Considering a Hobie kayak and I would like to get some opinions regarding seating. I would really like something comfortable (considering an Oasis for my wife and I).
Is the new Vantage seat way more comfortable than the seats that you could get on an older model kayak? Thanks. Katz |

Yes, Vantage Seat is very comfortable and dry.

I think it takes time to get used to new Hobie seat.
My back was hurting when I tried Bob's Outback with the new seat, yet on my own Malibu seat I was comfortable for longer hours. I liked the fact that I could store tackle under the seat. As long as I did not overturned. My newly purchased 2013 outback has older style seat. I am going to try the seat I got from Andy for the Malibu. Hope it works out. |

the one good thing about my Ascend kayak is the seat, it's very comfortable. I raised it a couple of inches because I didn't like the bidet effect from the scuppers in choppy water.
