They sort of work. After a while, you're sitting on not too much, as all of the gel migrates away. You still need some sort of cushioning underneath. The seat does have a solid, connected feel. They look nice, and are washable. I wouldn't spend my last $26 on one, but I don't consider it a bad purchase. My legs still cramp up and go numb on long crossings, however. ________________________________________________________________ Doug Barnard Virtual Acreage Agoura, California (near L.A.)
