Triton Seats - opinions?
Humbug - 15/12/05 at 08:50 AM

I see from various threads that there are various models - high back, low back, wide, with/without side harness holes, etc. and I am thinking about changing my seats (haven't told SWMBO yet...). A couple of questions though:

What advantages do highbacks have? I have high back seats in the car at the moment and I don't actually lean back on the headrest part, and I don't usually have a passenger, so that seat is just extra wind resistance.

I must admit I was slightly sceptical about the comfort of non-padded seats, but I am prepared to be convinced as many people on here seem to be OK with them. So, is there anyone within spitting distance of me who has got some Triton seats and would be able to let me see them in the flesh?

I'm in Sevenoaks, btw, though I do have to go to Egham (near Heathrow) from time to time.

Cheers,

(Bah) Humbug

Tritons seats are great and the design is comfy. But your seats look ok to me.

IMO you need a head restraint of some kind - either a high back seat, or a pad attached to the roll cage.

So if/when some numpty plonks their tin-top into your rear at a red-light you don't suffer whiplash or worse (that rollbar support is just behind your head by the look of things).

The high back is to provide a head restraint in a crash to reduce the effects of wiplash (butr then you might be kinky inthat way)
