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.

Date - 12-27-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | 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. ConsNone General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

| ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsCan'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. |
| Inexpensive ConsDoesn'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. General CommentsDon't bother. |
Date - 8-9-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very light and does the trick. Easy to install and remove. ConsRather large General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
| ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsTHIS 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. |
Date - 7-1-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Makes flying long legs in my 172H much more comfortable. The old planes aren't known for the most comfortable seats. 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. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 6-26-2008 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | 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. ConsThe support does shift a little while entering/exiting the seat. But it is easily readjusted when in the seat. General CommentsA great product for those that need lumbar support and want to have a cool back during long times in the seat. |
Date - 6-14-2008 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Works very well; provides lumbar support and is cool on hot days. ConsVertical location is pretty critical for comfort - but is easy to nudge up or down. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 5-28-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Extremely comfortable. ConsElastic straps can't adjust and are "one size fits all" General CommentsThis is an excellent product for the money. Made cross-country flights much more comfortable. |
Date - 1-23-2008 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | 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. ConsI can't convince the school to get one for every airplane. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
