[cool][#0000ff]The large pockets on the H3 conceal two rolls of Charmin'...but don't squeeze it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Man, unless you are a large individual who has tried to fish comfortably from the H3, you just can't appreciate what we have been going through to try to get a full day of fishing in. TubeBabe, myself and now Petty have all made multiple trips in which no matter how well we had the seats inflated and adjusted we had to leave the water to get relief from aching backs and sore butts. Those seats are poorly designed and brutal. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I finally got a "proper" bottom seat, after trying to make do with the defective cushion I got with the H3. But, it is still a poor design. By comparison, the inflated seats of the Super Fat Cat have very well defined individual contoured air channels. The cushions on the H3 have wimpy channels and the whole cushion is oversized for the space alloted. It does not fully inflate before it fills the pocket. That means that the channels do not come into play and the bottom cushion is still like a big round ball...a hard ball. If you drop the pressure it lets you slide out the front.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Yep. The lawn chair seat adds about 3 or 4 pounds of PVC to the whole rig...but it also adds several hours to the amount of time I can fish without suffering terminal butt cramps.[/#0000ff]
