Andy,

I found the original backband on my GS to be very comfortable. I only
replaced it when it finally fell apart from use. I then replaced it with
an NSI anatomic backband. If I had it to do all over, I would have saved
$10 and not gotten the deluxe version with the adjustable lumbar support
- it's unnecessary. Also being able to adjust the backband easily is
over-rated. Once the backband is adjusted, I don't play with them any
longer.
