Does the strap give out over time, causing the back of the seat to fall backward (I'm 215 lbs)?

I'm 215 and I usually adjust it a little to get comfortable but no problems so far. They will make your canoe trips much more enjoyable. I have one for both my son and myself. We both are very happy with them

I have had this seat for only a few months , it is well built and if taken care of , and not over stressed it should hold up , I weight around 212 myself.you can adjust the back to different angle on leaning back .Dale

Hi..I cant answer that myself but here are some answers from other customers...The strap is adjustable and from time to time you will have to adjust it however I'm 225 pounds and it works fine I love it Tarptyer answered on December 10, 2014 and I'm 215 and I usually adjust it a little to get comfortable but no problems so far.

Not sure, it's worked well for us, but I'm like 130 and my husband is 160. I bet it would for an occasional canoe trip. It's not an expensive seat, so it'll prob last a little while.

I used it in canoe this summer about 15 times - and for about 4-6 hrs each time. I had no problems with the strap giving out or even loosening up. I actually like to adjust it forward and back to give my back a different position every now and then while fishing. Adjustment is fast and easy and only take one hand. I am only 165 pounds, but the seat is rugged. I bet you won't have any problems with it.

In this type of seat, it's your own body weight that is keeping the back up, as long as the straps don't break. It's not really supportive like a regular chair, but it's enough that you can relax and not have to hold yourself up.

Not really, just a tiny bit. Like if you were to just stretch and go back it's got a little tilt. I haven't tried testing it because I don't want to fall on my ass or break it lmao!

I haven't had any issues with the strap. The curved part on the top of strap should be placed such that it curves toward the neck. It does not "stick" but rather is rough to use friction of clothing. I don't wear slick shirts so it stays in place with realative ease.

Yes I weigh 280 lbs bad it's held up for over eight months and three moves. It's soft and eases my back pain.

Hello R. Grimmett,I checked and the back rest of the chair does not lean forward or backward. It is stable. The entire chair moves up and down and spins around, but otherwise the parts do not move separately. You can lean back in the chair, but the back is connected to a sturdy frame and is not lose and flimsy.

This happened to me when I first used them. I adjusted them with the straps to go as far back as possible and have been good since then.

I'm not sure, but if I would buy again I woukdnt get this one. I feel like the backrest is low and does not have enough support.

I tucked the strap in the crease between the upper and lower seat sections, but it did eventually pop back out and it is visible. It's not a problem, though.

It does lean back. But if you're near the weight limit of the chair and actually use it as a full time business chair it starts failing around the 10 month mark. I just got a warranty extension because the seat part deflated and metal spikes came out of the front of the chair.

The backside is the same material as the strap. The seam has held up thus far, and doesn't look like it'll ever break..unless you're the hulk lol. The only down fall I'd say would be that the Velcro sucks and is pretty much useless after a while...side buttons can be pressed if you know where you're pressing.

Why is your backrest moving rearward? It shouldn't do that. When you lean against your backrest, it should be stationary. It should have movement forward to allow better access for passengers.The Saddlemen bag will act as a support, but only relative to what you have inside it. If it's empty, you won't get much support but if it's packed, then it acts as a backrest. I've actually taken trips where I carried my backrest in a saddlebag so that I can have more room when traveling and then use the backrest when I'm sightseeing and riding locally.

Ummm well, how to describe.... Just secure it to the base, or anything that you can hook it to. The "leg"of the seat. It may end up restricting moving seat forward or back if you need to. But most time I personally don't move my seats much. If you do move it, then you can adjust straps again. Hope this helps?

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

I have not found this to be a problem. My son's head does not slump. He sort of tilts it to the side and the seat does have a head "pillow" of sorts. I liked the upright factor because it seemed more comfy than a "C" shape that would curl his back. I also like the Radian b/c he can see more out of the sides than the other seats that I investigated.
