YakGear Sand Dollar Kayak Cushion

Appeared thinner than expected, however stays in place and offers the padding and comfort I wanted.

We bought two YakGear Sand Dollar Kayak Cushions to use with our Wilderness Tarpon Kayaks to see if they would add a little more cushion for our 4-5 hour trips on the lakes. Surprisingly the YakGear Sand Dollar Kayak Cushion was very comfortable on the tailbone and provided relief. We were out on the lake for 5 hours the first time we used the YakGear Sand Dollar Kayak Cushions and did not have any pain or soreness. We definitely recommend the YakGear Sand Dollar Kayak Cushion.

I gave this product three stars because it is sold as a kayak seat and it lives up to the title. The seat is very thin so it is merely a barrier between your rear end and the plastic seat of the kayak. The picture is misleading to me, as I thought it would be much thicker and comfortable. Also, for beginner kayakers, I would recommend a seat that also has at least some back support. This seat has none.

The seat cushion came in today just prior to a 10 mile river float trip. It is thin hard foam and will likely help more than a hard plastic seat on half day trips. The seat fits my kayak well and doesn't appear to move around when in use and dry. My wife and son tried it briefly and recommended I return it and spend a bit more for something thicker and softer. But I'm not in the market for a $50+ seat pad.

These pads are great. They really relieve the stress on your lower back and bottom. We kayak a lot and over the 4th weekend, and used these pads for the first time. I found myself not feeling very much lower back stress. Everyone in my family agrees and like them too.

I have a sit on top kayak and wanted a little more cushion on the seat. This cushion did not fit well on the seat and did not stay put. The shape also did not feel right. It felt awkward as a seat cushion.However, I think it would be great for moulded seats. The cushion is thick and a perfect material for providing some additional support. It just swe wasnt quite right for me and my situation.

SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT! My Sundolphin Aruba 10 didn't have a cushion and we went for an all day float so I needed something to sit on. This did much better than I expected. Only complaint is the price was cheaper in a sporting goods store when I found it the next week.

Seat is a little harder than I expected. Good outer cover . Will splurge for gel seat next time .
