Cool Mesh Back Support
Many airplane seats are stiff and uncomfortable for long flights, especially when it comes to lower back support. Now there’s an easy solution. This inexpensive Back Support slides over almost any seatback with its elastic strap, and provides outstanding lumbar support. Best of all, the open mesh design keeps your back cool and ventilated. Our product testers were amazed at the results after a 3 hour cross country. Measures 17"w x 15"h x 4 1/2"d. |

Overall 
ProsJust 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.
ConsNeeds occasional repositioning to have max utility.
General CommentsJust returned from a 3200 mile, 18 flight hour trip. This Cool Mesh back support made a real difference. Well worth the cost.

Reviewer - mskjordahl Location - St. Thomas, VI Date - 1-25-2012 Pilot Rating - ATP Overall  Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Light weight. Stronger than it looks. ConsBulky. General CommentsEasy to use, provides nice support. |
| Lightweight, easy to use, mesh allows air to flow behind low back, prevents slouching thus reduces fatigue. ConsThin strap that wraps around back of seat is weak. After first use by stretching it around seat it lost it's elasticity. General CommentsGreat back support for the price!! If you do long trips or multiple leg days, this will help immensely. |

| ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments Had it short time, limited use so far, but happy with it. |
| Holds me away from the vinyl seat back in hot weather. Its light and easy to fasten. ConsNot 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 CommentsNot a good buy due to it being uncomfortable. |
Date - 7-1-2010 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | 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. ConsThere's no way to make a downside to this product. General CommentsAnybody could benefit from this, but for long-range pilots it can be a lifesaver. |

Date - 7-21-2009 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Good support Need to adjust location occasionally but it's easy to do so that's not really a con. General CommentsI 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. |
Date - 7-21-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Provides much needed ventilation and back support for long flights. ConsWill not stay put on seat. Slides around on the seat back so much that it is an aggravation rather than a help. General CommentsThis product will be useful for long trips but slides around way too much to be useful on a daily basis. |
Date - 7-21-2009 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great lower back support for the longer trips...also seems to keep my back cooler than normally resting against the seat.
