This seat pad is 1/2 inch thick. It is made of minicell closed-cell foam. The Techlift adds comfort and allows for a better fit for a smaller paddler in some higher volume boats by reducing that cockpit rim in the armpits feeling. It will help lift the paddler a bit higher. Best used by any paddler, particularly large open cockpits, for both sit-on and sit-in kayaks. Can be trimmed with a sharp knife. Self-Adhesive backing provided, just peel and stick. Pad is 15 inches front to back by 16 inches side to side. Color is dark charcoal. PERRECTOUR GENERICOUT
This self-adhesive seat pad has the exact same footprint as the discontinued 1/4 thick Harmony Seat Pad, and 3/4 inch Comfort Lift seat pad as well as the 1/4 thick Classic Perception Seat Pad, also the same size and shape, that often was a swirl of colors including green, white, gray and black (also known by part numbers 8025054, 8023010 and 8025055). This seat pad can be used as a substitution for the discontinued Perception Seat Pad, aka Swifty Seat Pad, (part number 17040112) common on many older Perception kayaks, including the Swifty, America and Carolina models. If you have a tight fitting sea kayak you might want to apply Self-Adhesive Foam as your seat padding, or one of the thinner strap-on or tie-on seat pads, such as the Tour Bottom Pad. See more options in our Seat Pad Category.
How To: Test sit the pad before you peel off the paper backing, mark the location that is comfortable. Peel off a bit of the paper and begin sticking, working back to forward, like application of a sticker (no bubbles), peeling paper as you go, like a banana. When done sit on the new pad and bounce, using your butt a hammer to pound out any air pockets. Then press very firmly all the way around the perimeter with your thumb or heel of your hand, sealing the edge leaving no gaps or avenues.
