    Exactly as described, works perfectly. Flying in the summer, I hated the "wet low back" syndrome I had after every flight. This is comfortable and stops that problem! I like it so much I even use it in the house in the winter for the lumbar support at my desk chair.

    Can't tell about durability or reliability yet. I just got it! Haven't even used it in a plane yet. But I have another one I got (at about the same price) a few months ago, and I've used it at home and in my car, and it works well. Well enough for me to order another one for cross country plane usage.

    Doesn't give a lick of lower back support. When I lean back, it simply gives- and I end up sitting the exact same way but with a rough layer of mesh between my back and the seat.

    Don't bother.

    THIS THING SAVED MY ASS!! USED IT TO FLY FROM ALBUQUERQUE TO COSHOCOTON OHIO AND BACK IN LATE JULY. MY LOWER BACK FELT GREAT AND THE AIR FLOW AROUND MY BACK THROUGH THE MESH WAS WONDERFUL.

    Pros

    Makes flying long legs in my 172H much more comfortable. The old planes aren't known for the most comfortable seats.
    An added benefit is that it allows air to circulate behind your back, helping to cool you off.

    Cons

    It's a little bit wide. I'm not sure if 2 of them would be able to fit side-by-side. It would be better if it were 1-2 inches narrower.

    Great lumbar support!! It is also easy to move to and from seats. The mesh material does help keep the back cool even with long times in the seat.

    Cons

    The support does shift a little while entering/exiting the seat. But it is easily readjusted when in the seat.

    General Comments

    A great product for those that need lumbar support and want to have a cool back during long times in the seat.

    Works very well; provides lumbar support and is cool on hot days.

    Vertical location is pretty critical for comfort - but is easy to nudge up or down.

    Pros

    Very comfortable and supportive. Mesh design is not only cool but prevents it from blowing across a busy ramp. Fits quite nicely in Diamond aircraft. My back would ache after flying an hour and a half training flight in the DA-42, but now I can do a 5 hour cross country without any pains or discomfort. Excelent product.

    Cons

    I can't convince the school to get one for every airplane.
