Pros

Lightweight, easy to use, mesh allows air to flow behind low back, prevents slouching thus reduces fatigue.

Cons

Thin strap that wraps around back of seat is weak. After first use by stretching it around seat it lost it's elasticity.

General Comments

Great back support for the price!! If you do long trips or multiple leg days, this will help immensely.

Just as the product description says... inexpensive effective solution to seats that have lost, or never had, good lumbar support. The open mesh is the best part for summer flying.

Cons

Needs occasional repositioning to have max utility.

General Comments

Just returned from a 3200 mile, 18 flight hour trip. This Cool Mesh back support made a real difference. Well worth the cost.

Pros

Holds me away from the vinyl seat back in hot weather. Its light and easy to fasten.

Cons

Not good for long trips as it is too deep and the lumbar support does not allow me to relax my back. the arch is just too much.

General Comments

Not a good buy due to it being uncomfortable.

Pros

I fly out to West Texas to the tune of 1000+ hours a year and when you're talking leather seats in 110° desert heat, you're also talking gluing yourself to the leather seats. When it's 85° at 10,000MSL, leather is bad. This item really helps on those flights because you get a lot of circulation, it supports your back to make long flights more comfortable, if you're coming in IFR it tends to keep you in the correct posture so that you're always on the line.

Cons

There's no way to make a downside to this product.

General Comments

Anybody could benefit from this, but for long-range pilots it can be a lifesaver.

I'm a tall pilot. This back rest so changed my position in the seat that, with headset on, my head hits the cabin ceiling. I cannot use this product.

I cannot use this product as I intended.

Need to adjust location occasionally but it's easy to do so that's not really a con.

General Comments

I use it in my car and have enjoyed the product so far. Haven't had it long enough to assess the dutability and reliability. Too early to judge. My son is an instrument rated pilot and I plan to buy one for him.

Pros

Provides much needed ventilation and back support for long flights.

Cons

Will not stay put on seat. Slides around on the seat back so much that it is an aggravation rather than a help.

General Comments

This product will be useful for long trips but slides around way too much to be useful on a daily basis.
