John, Back when I did the backband thing, I liked the Snap Dragon (www.snapdragondesign.com) one with the stiff plastic like strap. The one from Salamander (www.salamanderpaddlegear.com) is pretty good too. I've done demo paddles in the Explorer and didn't notice any backband problems, so I am not really sure changing the backband will solve the problem. Be sure to sit up straight. Doing yoga will help a lot too. Duane Strosaker www.rollordrown.com > >Hi All, Looking for a consensus "best choice" to replace the backband on a > >2002 NDK Explorer. Not enough lower lumbar support.
