Bought for an older 14 Perception Carolina with hollow seat back but this doesnt conform to that seat at all. Just got it today and took it out, definitely an improvement just sticking it back there compared to the bare plastic, but apparently I should have bought a surf to summit pad designed for this kayak. First time Ive bought a kayak seat so I cant really comment on quality, just not a good fit for my Perception Carolina as the description would suggest.

This seat pad is intended as a replacement and not an upgrade, therefore it may not fit models that did not originally come with it.

Review:

I am using this seat back for my older Perception Carolina kayak, due to the uncomfortable original back. Before I ordered this one, I tried an identical one from my Prodigy, and it seemed to work, although it was not an exact fit and there is some slop. I paddled with this one for a few hours on a lake the other day, and even though it does not put me in as much of an upright position, it was much more comfortable than the original. I plan to fix the upright problem by taping a cushion to this one. I did not give this 5 stars since it was not an exact replacement, but in summary its better in my opinion than the original.
