Skwoosh Classic Kayak Seat Pad Cushion - Product Reviews
In Stock - Ships today if ordered within the next
Description:
Maintenance free, non-skid gel seat cushion.
ACK Review:
We love the Skwoosh gel seats. The gel conforms to your body better than inflatable cushions. The seat pad stays put thanks to the 'grippy' bottom. Seems a little thin compared to foam cushions but surprisingly actually makes a difference in comfort.

This pad works great for me
(age 62, 5' 9", 190 lbs)! I yak
a NW Mariner 12.5 Propel.
Without it, my butt was
seriously aching after just a
couple of hours. With the
Skwoosh I don't experience
any discomfort even after 4
hours out fishing.
I used it on my office chair for
a week, waiting for the
weather to warm a bit, and it
made a noticeable difference
there too.

Have only been out paddling a
couple of times since I bought
it, but it has helped
considerably to relieve the
pressure that had been causing
discomfort down the length of
my left leg. I have been able
to stay in my kayak and paddle
for one to one-and-a-half
hours longer without having to
get out for a stretch break,
so thats made the cushion well
worth its cost.

As a new kayaker, I dont
understand why the manufacturers
of entry level boats put cheap
seats in them. I understand
there is an additional cost but
having an enjoyable experience
should be the target to get you
hooked. With the addition of
this pad I am more than hooked.
It does everything it says but
most of all it keeps me in the
boat and coming back for more.
GREAT PRODUCT !

The seat is good. So good
that I use it on my computer
chair. It
isnt soft, but it is form
fitting and stable. It
encourages sitting on
ones bones, using core
strength instead of slouching.
In the kayak
it helps prevent bottoming
out. Im glad I have it. Its
black which
will not show the wear from
kayaking.

My first Kayaking experience

was hard and so I bought two
of these for my Tandem

and felt fine upon

a hard seat for long trips.

The gel in the Skwoosh seat
pad is what makes it so
comfortable. The gel adjusts
to your bottom, and prevents
contact with the hard seat.
Its lightweight and it floats.
Great product!

I often fish for 8-9 hours a
day from my Hobie Revo 13 or
my OK
Prowler 15. Most of the time
I use a Tree Stand Cushion on
top
of the stock seat, but it
changes your COG on the SOT
kayaks.
This pad provides just the
right amount of cushioning for
me
and keeps my COG much lower
than the Tree Stand Cushion.
So
far I am happy with the
product and cant say enough
about
Austin Canoe and Kayak. I
recommend them to anyone
getting
into the kayaking world.

inevitable to have a numb butt
and legs. I just did
the Colorado 100 race with
this cushion and was able
to go up to 5 hours without
getting out of the boat.

This is a great addition to a kayak. We both have Perception Carolinas and with long trips our feet and legs would be numb, not to mention our butts. We bought these and went 12 miles yesterday and they are COMFORTABLE!! No numb feet, no sore hips, no sore legs. These are great and worth every penny! If you are looking at these, then you need one!

I ordered this Kayak cushion, due to the fact that I have a severe back issue due to college football injury, plus a severe sciatica never problem to make things even more difficult. The Swoosh cushion is a good one, it just didn't have quite the over-all thickness that was needing due to the fact that I often spend 6-8 hours a day over the long weekend sitting in my Cobra Fish-n-Dive, so my legs tend to go numb without a total thick cushion between my bottom and the deck of the kayak. I returned the Swoosh to Austin Kayak, and Ms. Kate ordered me the Seattle Sports kayak inflatable seat, which totally "rocks", it has the capability to fill the seat with the exact amount of air that suits the paddler. Thomas, Kate and the entire Austin Kayak staff are the true examples as to what real Customer Service was intended to be for a new or existing buyer. I had never purchased anything from Austin Kayak before the fall weather set in here in Northeast Florida, where I've lived for over 25 years, and where I fish everyday that I can possible do so, even though Jax Florida has awesome weather for about 10 months a year, the two to three months with Northeaster's are totally a different story. I have purchased a lot of the NRS Dry gear, for cold and wet conditions, and every item has been of excellent quality and Austin Kayak's service and delivery are just super! PS: I did purchase the Skwoosh tethers for the tie down of my new Seattle sports kayak seat cushion, and they are like all of the other items, just what I ordered, great price, super delivery, and Kate and the staff Rock!

I use this cushion on my Tarpon 140. I like the cushion but maybe my butt is too boney (6 foot tall, 160 lbs) as the gel tends to get pushed aside after a few minutes and my butt is then without much cushion under it. So, I put another cushion (that I got from the dollar store) under me too and with both, I stay really comfortable.

My first cushion of this kind. Used it this last weekend on a 4 hour trip down a local river. I am very impressed and glad I bought it. Not too thick and not too thin and easy to take along for the ride. Glad it floats too, because I did tip completely over during the trip! I highly recommend it for anyone looking for more comfort than their stock seat offers.

This pad eliminated all of that pressure/pain and also sat me a bit higher and kept me drier! I would give it ten stars if ACK had that rating. An absolutely great product that I highly recommend to anyone suffering from a sore bottom while in their yak.....happy paddling!
