In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Back Bands/ Seats *PIC* (Marc Upchurch)

Marc, I have gone to backjoy seats with 1/4 inch closed cell foam added (glued with contact cement) underneath and held down by wide Velcro on my kayaks. I don't use a back band anymore I just have a closed foam backrest like many closed foam seats. The back joy really reduces how much I use a backrest and keeps my posture much better.
