: I use the "therm-a-rest" supplied by pygmy as a seat for my coho.
: It's comfortable, the butt don't ache, but I loose feeling in my feet
: after a while.

: does anyody know WHY it happens ?

: Is it because of the interaction between my body & the seat ?

: or is there some other reason ?

: should I blame the seat ? or should I blame something else ?

: how can I tell if the same problem occur with a different seat before I
: install it ?

: any help appreciated,

: Erez

Rehzzz, try cutting some thin wedges of foam a few inches long and put the thicker end at the front of the seat and tape it down to experiment. Paddle a while and see if it cures the problem. No sense buying a new seat and going through the installation of same, until you know what works for your particular "hiney". Every butt out there is different, so, you have to see what works for you. I don't know the seat, but maybe rounding up the front edge will help with a little inside and outside support. Do a little experimenting with some foam, cardboard, balsa wood or whatever and some duct tape. It'll give you a good reason to get in some paddle time. Hope that helps.

Might give you the incentive to start on that new boat or at least a custom " seat of the pants " seat for the old one. I know how annoying that feeling can be. Good luck with the testing.
