Backrests

Shop our assortment of comfortable backrests with built-in seat pads available in many styles to fit the many different needs of all paddlers. A well-adjusted backrest will support your spine in proper paddling posture relieving strain on your back and legs. Select a taller seat back for more comfort and support, or if you are a tall person. Select a shorter seat back for more freedom of movement and performance, or if you are a smaller person. A well-adjusted kayak seat will also improve the fit to your kayak, like knee straps for your behind, giving greater control and performance. See the "Universal Seat System" category for more options. See also our Review of the GTS Backrest.
