Review: Best Back Support Canoe Seat EVER! - I've been an avid canoeist for 48 years, having gotten my first canoe at 19. A little over five years ago I was riding my bicycle and was hit by a SUV. One of the harder things to recover from was the break at the L-1 vertebrae. Initially there was a question whether I would need a wheelchair for the rest of my life. After the first of three reconstructive surgeries (with a total if five surgeries in less than five years), the doctors gave me a 50/50 chance of walking without a walker or cane. They didn't give me any odds on breaking horses, canoeing, or skydiving again. But now I'm back to lugging my 18' aluminum whitewater Grumman to get it wet. However, I wouldn't even want to do it without the back support of the GCI Outdoor SitBacker Adjustable Canoe Seat with Back Support. The GCI seat with back support was a game-changer for me. Canoeing rehab has been going so well my younger brother and I are planning on canoeing the Boundary Waters in 2026! In fact, I just bought a second GCI seat for my brother! They are that good. The integral shoulder strap is great for carrying the seats hands-free when the seat has to be taken off the canoe. The portage straps securing the seats in the fold-down position are a life-saver during transportation and portaging. The seats themselves are comfortable and warm in all weather conditions. Seat and frame construction is rugged quality. If I were engineering the seat, I would see if the tops of the seat back corners could be rounded more to give a little more clearance on the follow through paddle stroke. But as it is, you can adjust your stroke to compensate and still enjoy all of the benefits the GCI seat offers!
Review: Great Canoe Seat & Good Stadium Seat. - This product exceeded our expectations. The son and I decided to do a few nights canoeing down the Colorado River this last spring. It was truly a lifetime experience. The beauty and rawness of the area is truly something to see. The canoe that we rented advertised that they had seats built in but we decided to buy these for a little extra comfort. Boy, are we glad we did! The hardback plastic seats that were on the canoes absolutely sucked and were not forgiving. Meanwhile these seats, which we placed over the seat support, were padded and comfortable. The bulk of the back support comes from the adjustable strap and we found that to be truly comfortable you cinched down the strap to a more upright angle than you may normally have thought necessary. They strap down and are solidly in place even if you have to move around and there is no chance of losing the seat in a capsize or other unplanned event. Several others in our group expressed their regret at not buying the same seats my son and I did. After the trip they have found continued and regular use as stadium seats. In that capacity they are a little less convenient than some models which simply “hook” onto the bleachers. These seats strap down to the bleachers by means of a buckle/strap assembly. It’s very solid and reliable but a tiny bit more effort than a hook on seat is necessary. This doesn’t bother me in the least but may be worth considering if you are using this exclusively as a stadium seats.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great comfort solution for canoers.
*by S***E on August 21, 2015*

I definitley like this seat. It's well made, sturdy, durable. It's pretty compact and light to pack or carry around. I do a canoe trip every year with family, and last year my back became pretty sore from sitting up & slouching all day. Picked this up, confident that it would make a big difference. It definitely did. I was comfortable the whole time. It's designed well, so the seat padding and back padding are comfortable, and the bar doesnt dig into your back. The recline feature is decent, there is a lot of adjustability. As noted in other reviews, the nylon reclining strap does slip a bit over time, but you can easily tighten it back up. Its kind of nice that if you dont want to use the back rest, you can just flip it down and sit on top of it. That was helpful to get it out of the way at times when i had to pack or unpack the canoe behind the seat. The only gripe I had with it, is while it does support you pretty well, and it is relatively sturdy, its definitely not fully-rigid. When you put your weight on the back rest, it will kind of pull the seat corners up toward you, around your legs. This seems to happen no matter how tight i tried to strap it to the seat. I think if there was a rigid bar or something across the front of the seat, it could prevent this. All in all though, I think this is a great product and in my opinion, a required item for any longer canoe ride. It defintely allowed me to relax my back, and it was always comfortable. I haven't seen any other available product like this that looks to be better. And for $29.00, I think it's a great deal and a cheap comfort solution. Only other alternative, which sounds and looks kind of odd, is to put one of those folding camping chairs in the canoe and sit on it. My buddies do that, and while it looks silly and seems like it might put the center of gravity too high, it has worked for several of them, several years in a row. And because they're fully rigid, they're more comfortable than even this GCI chair.
