With deep molded center panels contrasting with the surrounding black molded foam padding, the GTS Elite kayak seat looks like it belongs in a high-end sports car rather than a kayak. It has new, widened rear attachment straps for even more solid positioning which helps prevent seat slippage. On either side of the seat the paddler has the option of micro adjusting their forward lean from four ''easy release'' thumb action tension locks. There are two lower tension lock adjusters for the lumbar area and two upper tension locks for adjustment of the forward lean. Overkill'' Perhaps, but tuning your kayak seat to custom fit your back makes a huge difference in the enjoyment of your paddling. The ergonomically sculpted 18'' tall back portion of the seat offers maximum high back support.
