Custom Seat By Lamm

[oldgoat01_imp]

I highly recommend trying an AirHawk for < $100 before spending big on a custom seat, if comfort is your only goal for a seat upgrade. I wish I had; I spent $500 on a Mayer seat, which was fine, but it was the AirHawk that really made it work for me. Several people I've suggested this to who have tried it found it to be the solution to the pain in the ass.

Not the best looking, but I am willing to give it a try.

Not the best looking, but I am willing to give it a try. I bought the AirHawk (the basic model) hoping it would help but found it to be totally inadequate. I tried it at various pressures, down to about 0, but it felt very insecure and exacerbated the slow slide to the tank. I know some, like spaceman, swear by them. If you read the AirHawk literature, it seems their new R model is designed to address several of the issues I had with the std model. But at $200 they aren't cheap. I kept my Airhawk thinking it may work OK now that I have a Corbin seat. I'll see how it works for cooling purposes when it gets hot again. If it doesn't work for me, I'll be placing an ad in the Classifieds
By the way, I'm 6' 180. Weight and size/shape of bum seem to be the determining factor in how aftermarket seats and products like this perform. Someone who is 5' 10" 220 or 6' 2" 170 would have a completely different experience than I.
