In Response To: loss of feet blood circulation - why ? (Erez)

Paul and Rehd hit the nail on the head. A deep, sculpted seat with some thigh support will help greatly.

Ross

: I use the "therm-a-rest" supplied by pygmy as a seat for my coho.
: It's comfortable, the butt don't ache, but I loose feeling in my feet
: after a while.

: does anyody know WHY it happens ?

: Is it because of the interaction between my body & the seat ?

: or is there some other reason ?

: should I blame the seat ? or should I blame something else ?

: how can I tell if the same problem occur with a different seat before I
: install it ?

: any help appreciated,

: Erez
