Hi Sid,
    I have one on my Explorer. It's OK, but the best solution I've seen to 
date was to rip off the backband altogether and build up a foam back support 
with a radiused top so you can still layback.  As soon as my second boat 
comes in, that's what my Explorer is headed towards.  At that point I'll have 
a Bomber Gear Backband to sell !!  No matter what you do any backband tends 
to get under your butt when you first enter the boat.
