The GCI Outdoor SitBacker is a lightweight, fold-up canoe seat that clamps securely to most gunwales, giving paddlers instant back support and cushioned comfort on long flat-water trips or fishing outings. Its patented BackComfort Technology lets you recline the backrest to your preferred angle, while the integrated lumbar pad and 2-inch thick cushion reduce fatigue so you can stay on the water from sunrise to take-out.

Common Q&A’s:
-
Will it fit my kayak?
Clamps are designed for canoe gunwales; most sit-on-top kayaks lack the vertical lip needed for secure attachment. -
Does the seat slide on the rail?
No—once clamps are tightened the seat stays locked in place even when leaning or casting. -
Can I remove it mid-trip?
Yes—loosen thumb screws and lift off in seconds for portages or switching paddlers.
