a lot of people really like the phase 3 seat

The seat is nice, but the backrest is way too tall. It can interfere
with the sprayskirt and forget about anything resembling a layback.

I've found that the be common with a lot of kayak seats. It's unfortunate
that vendors are promoting comfortable kayaking at the expense of
encouraging poor posture resulting in inefficient paddling.

A
backband with that seat bottom would be pretty good combination for a
lot of paddlers.

I really like the backband I put into my old fiberglass VCP Skerray. I cut
a swatch out of an old plastic garbage "can", drilled a couple of hole in it
so that I could attach it to the molded in cheek plates, and padded it with
a bit of closed cell foam. It's very comfortable and doesn't restrict a
layback roll.
