I am looking for a new/better backband for my Romany and Romany
Explorer.
Wondered if anyone has experience with the Bomber Gear Backband?
thanks, sid

------------------------------

Piranha makes some awsome kayaks, but I especially like their back band
ratchet system. It extends all the way forward in terms of the
adjustment straps, such that back band positioning/firmness can be
adjusted while sitting in the kayak. Check it out sometime at a dealer
near you. I will probably adapt something similar on my Necky Gliss,
depending on what transpires with my current bad back syndrom, and may
do the same for my wife's sea kayak. I truly believe sea kayak
manufactures are often not putting in enough research and development
into outfitting.
