Love the quality for the price. It ’s soft and has a pocket to put your cell and important things. It ’s comfortable. My son stayed seated.

This universal seat fit more than one of my sit on tops. It was very easy to install, and it was very comfortable to use.

I purchased this as a universal replacement for a hard seat. While I have n't personally used it my son said it was a great addition considering it is mostly soft all around. I would have like to see the back panel have a sturdier interior for longer paddles. Would I buy it again, probably not if I had the time to find the replacement part for our kayak. Needing something in a pinch, this is great. It dried about as quickly as a ripstop lifejacket.

I purchased this seat in hopes that it would give me a little more support than the original seat in my kayak. I did n't even remove the old seat. I just inflated the lumbar back( fabulous) I must say and sat it in the kayak over the original seat. The new seat is a little higher on my back and the lumbar area gives me the support for a very comfortable ride. I have had back surgery in the low back area and when I would spend time on the water, I always had back pain. I tried flotation cushions to raise me up higher or behind me to give additional support. Now that I have this particular seat I no longer have to put any additional padding anywhere. I am so glad to have found this seat. Now I can kayak for any amount of time I want. Great buy, great price, for such a remarkable cushion.

I have a regular seat and later on learnt about this lumbar support seat. I ordered one and was glad I did cause after a few hours on the water the lumbar seat definitely helps prevent a sore lower back. I use it in my Advanced Elements Convertible( 2 person) kayak. I would recommend it and trust me you wo n't regret it. Its worth the money.

This seat works great. Inflatable but comfortable. You can adjust your level of support easily. Recommend it over a lot of more expensive seats.

I am not sure older kayakers know the value of your product. My wife and I now both have one and after several hours in the kayak our backs do not feel as strained as it did in the past. We both recommend the product to anyone we see on the river or in any outdoor shops. If we can help promote or assist in selling your back support product, please let us know. More and more `` baby boomers '' are learning to kayak and looking for more comfort in the boats. Sincerely, Jim and Dorothy Berryjdberry1[@]

I 'm Ray, and I 've been kayaking recreationally for about 6 years. In my adventures I have paddled calm lakes, gentle rivers, and even some light white water. Whether you 're a seasoned paddler or a curious beginner, the Quest Endeavor Kayak is a great companion for your next kayaking adventure. While I am no giant of a man at 5 foot 8 and 175 pounds, I found the Quest Endeavor ’s multi- chine hull design to provide great stability and tracks exceptionally well. I ’ ve rented or owned multiple kayak brands and styles over the years. Typically, I have preferred a sit- on- top style kayak. However, the Quest Endeavor sit- in style has become my new favorite. It includes a mesh framed folding seat, knee pads on the left and right rim, and adjustable sliding foot braces. When paddling in cooler weather, water temperature can be felt through the plastic housing of any kayak, especially a sit- in style kayak. The mesh folding seat provided support for my back and also sat off the bottom of the kayak enough to allow me to stay dry and warm. The Quest Endeavor also provides ample storage. The rear well and bungee straps easily accommodate a cooler or tackle box. The front storage hatch was lined with a nylon bag to keep items dry and secure. There are left and right slide rails that will allow you to attach accessories, a water bottle holder in the canopy, as well as a groove with bungee to securely hold your phone. The Quest Endeavor kayak was easy to carry and load on my vehicle, weighing only 48 pounds and just under 10 feet long. Whether you 're a solo adventurer or looking to share the experience with a friend, the made in America Quest Endeavor Kayak is the perfect choice. It's affordable, easy to transport, and packed with features that will make your next kayaking trip enjoyable and memorable. Not to mention, the rich color and textured fish- scale design make the Quest Endeavor Kayak simply beautiful. Disclaimer: This review is a paid endorsement for the Quest Endeavor kayak. I received a free kayak in exchange for my honest feedback.

Got my Quest Kayak and tried it on the lake. Would say overall performance is good. Material is very durable. Still kayak is not heavy which is a big plus while loading and unloading. On the water Quest is super stable as it ’s wide and easy to maneuver. You wouldn ’ t fell out or turn over- so could safely continue your journey on the lake or even river rapids. Kayak has a compartment for your staff as well as some space on the back of it. You could put fishing rods in special place on the back and relax while fishing. So with Quest you could just enjoy your time on the water, spend time with friends or family or just go fishing. It ’s good for all of that.

I received my Quest Endeavor in a timely manner with plenty of details provided by the shipper. It arrived boxed and completely intact. This kayak is a recreational kayak that is more suited for lakes or lazy rivers. I was highly impressed with all the included features. It comes with plenty of bungee storage for your kayaking or fishing needs. The dry bag hatch storage is a nice upgrade from most kayaks in this price range. The bottle/drink holder is perfect for a nice bottle to keep you hydrated while on the water and even when leaning or rowing the bottle stayed in the curved holder. The phone bungee with molded slot is nice and allows you to see your phone while kayaking. I did put my phone in a waterproof phone case and tethered it to the bungee for safe keeping in case of a rollover. The stadium seating allows for a good view from the cockpit and to paddle unimpeded. The only downside is the not so clear place to use the seat bungees for security of the seat. I would suggest maybe 2 eye hooks attached to the side of the boat for more security. The padding on the sides for your knees is a nice touch and upgrade. I really like this feature due to having some scrape issues on my knees and legs from previous kayaks. The foot pegs are easily adjustable with a pull and push system with minimum effort. This boat is lightweight at 48 lbs. I was able to move it with ease. The carry handles are a nice length so that you are not straining or hunched over when lifting or carrying which is nice. I paddled for the first time on a windy day on a private lake. I was surprised at the ease in which I was able to paddle against the wind. The boat handled the wind well and still sliced through the water with no issue. It continue to glide for several more feet before succumbing to the prevailing winds. I took my fishing rods out and the rod holders are well placed. When casting I did not feel any tipping or unsteadiness of the kayak. I even cast behind and to the side of the boat without any feeling of tipping. I am writing this review as part of an agreement for the free ownership of the Quest Endeavor Kayak.

> I took my new kayak on its maiden voyage at the Okefenokee Swamp. I found the kayak to be very stable and comfortable. Although, I didn ’ t fish on this outing it is an ideal kayak for fishing with rod holders and track system for attaching items. It has enough space for a small cooler in the rear.

Im glad I bought it, I 've been looking for one for a long time.

Been wanting one of these for a long time. Finally purchased a couple to use when attending tournaments. Pretty sturdy for even a big guy. Nice and light to carry as well. Its great to be able to carry such a lightweight chair to rest on. Better than standing up continuously. I also use when changing into shoes at the course. Small enough to keep in the car.

5 EllenRH
Use this on many occasions when my bad back starts giving out after walking or standing for too long. What a relief to be able to sit down for a while...... especially when there's no seating around( sidelines at field games, golf tournaments, etc).

I am using mine for soccer games where I can sit during the game on the field without having to lug a bulky chair down to the field. It's not cushy, if that's what you are looking for. It will also be great for winter training on a turf field where there is no seating. I have been looking for it since I originally saw it. Finally, I found it at the golf section behind the counter. I love it!

We bought a pair of Intex Explorer K2 inflatable kayaks last summer. They were inexpensive and served as a fine introduction to paddling for our family. Immediately, though, we were turned off by the size and softness of the side pontoons, and how they felt like they were preventing us from paddling efficiently. The floor is also floppy and does n't provide much support. We knew we wanted to upgrade, but all of the boats I was looking at were out of our budget. All of these problems and more were eliminated by the Quest Patoka. Full disclosure, we 've only used it once, so I ca n't speak to long- term durability. However, I was blown away by the initial experience. The Patoka has a drop stitch floor( which is removable for easy cleaning/drying) and high pressure pontoons which are much lower profile than the Intex. Together, these features combined to make a stable, supportive boat that slid across the water with ease, even when loaded to about 75% capacity. The 12+ foot length meant there is much more leg room, the foot supports are a huge upgrade, and the rigid pontoons provide hip support without blocking paddle movement. We will probably replace the inflatable seats with foam ones for better back support, but the seats just clip to metal rings inside the boat, so we should be able to get universal ones with no problem. To my inexperienced eyes, the build quality looked good- all the visible seams look like they have a half inch or more of overlap, and the material feels solid but not brittle. The boat has two skews- a smaller one at the front and a larger one in back. Both attached and removed fairly easily. The bag it came with definitely fits everything, and pack- up does n't take any longer than with our old inflatables. I will try to remember to come back and update this review once we 've used it a few more times, but compared to tue cheap boats we had before, and the Intex Excursion that we 'd been considering( which Big 5 sells for the same price we paid for the Patoka), this kayak feels like a HUGE upgrade, and I definitely am happy with our purchase.

We bought this boat about a year ago, and I could n't be happier with it. We have two now, so our family of four and 2 dogs can all go together. We 've taken these on lakes and Puget Sound. They 've been dragged over beaches, bumped into rocks and bouys and underwater tree branches, and been climbed over by dogs with pointy nails. They blow up easily and perform every time, whether riding solo, or with another person and/or dog. I did upgrade the seat to a high- back seat from a different company for more support- and got a bleacher cushion for more padding underneath me- which makes it much more comfortable. All in all, a great portable kayak that seams to have a lot of the design/build quality of name brand boats at a fraction of the price.

This kayak is awesome! Very buoyant and easy to maneuver the fins that attach on the bottom help a lot so far so good it weighs 45 pounds in the backpack works in the kayak does fit in the backpack after it ’s been used easily preparation to use the kayak is easy the pump attaches to the kayak Easily and the fill up time is quick after using the kayak.

The Patoka Inflatable Kayak can be 2 or 1 person. Comes with carrying Pack for easy storage and packing to your favorite spot at the water. Quite impressive with quality of this Inflatable Kayak. The lightweight maneuverability and stability. The weight limit is a max of 375 total weight. Still great for a adult and small child or one adult. Comes with everything you need to hit the water except the life jackets. Remember if you have 2 people you need 2 life jackets. Also repair kit comes with this as well. I would recommend this if you are needing to Kayak and have a small car or no storage room.

5 Megs
This inflatable kayak has worked well to paddle in our creek and out to the river with my son or daughter. I am careful to avoid downed trees or anything that could puncture it. We also plan to use it in the ocean and intracoastal. My 9yr old son fully inflated and assembled it by himself. It comes with 2 seats, 2 paddles, pump, repair kit, fins, and a nice zippered storage bag. While it is easy to setup, it does take some time and should be noted that there are a lot of parts to keep up with and the once inside the bag it is quite heavy and large to store or transport. For one person, it takes about 15 minutes to deflate and packup and bw 30- 45min to set up the first few times.

After renting this kayak from the local park multiple times, I finally purchased my own. It tracks really well as either a tandem or single( sitting in the middle seat). Foot wells are permanent but clip on seats are adjustable for the ultimate fit. Feels very sturdy and would take a large amount of effort to flip it. Not a lot of storage( I pack light anyway) but comfort and stability more than make up for that. Great kayak for me, my son, and dog, but at 12ft and under 60lbs., it is very manageable for those solo outings too. All around great kayak and would highly recommend.

5 Cody
It blew my mind how comfortable I felt in the middle going solo in adverse conditions. I 've had it in some large surf and some heavily currented waters. Not only did I never have any issues of any kind, I never felt like I was n't in control. It's not ideal for fishing, but it can be achieved with some patience and attention to detail. Paddle on!

5 daver
Nice heavy duty kayak, yet light enough to be handled by one person. Trails nicely. Do suggest buying a set of scupper plugs though.

5 Ben Jamn'
This kayak is super stable for one or two people in high surf and great at tracking on waves. I love this kayak for fishing, surfing or just cruising. It is worth every penny and more!!!!!

This is the same one we used while on vacation in Maui and loved it. Dicks was great to work with and ordering it for me. It came to my home as promised. A very good experience.
