In Response To: Re: sitting on that type of seat (Ralph Merriman)

I have two whitewater kayaks, and while both have immobilizing hip pads, one has a hard (slippery) seat, and one has a neoprene-covered padded seat. I like the padded seat, but whether wearing dry pants or shorts, the fabric tends to stick to the nylon on the neoprene, and that restricts my movement I have tried a neoprene pad on the bottom of my kayak for 10-hour days, and it was o.k. for a while, but I had the same issue, where my shorts stuck to the neoprene and I couldn't slide around, and I ended up taking it out. I don't mind the padding, just the restricted movement. Maybe i should get some glideskin-covered neoprene...
