What people are saying about our fleece seat pads
24 Feb 2010
I completed the boston rowing marathon in the single scull the seat pad.
It certainly performed better than the other pads I'd tried.
A week later I was in Geneva for the Tour du Leman - 160km non-stop around the lake. This was five of us in a quad scull, with one person coxing at a time. Due to the way we rotated, it meant everyone had a go on the comfy seat pad, with everyone else sitting on some normal foam pads. The wool was most popular! Over the 15 hours of the race main complaint was back and hand pain. Maybe you should start making wool gloves too :-)
If I decide to do some more long distance rowing this year then it's likely I'll get another pad. Maybe in pink to make it harder to lose!

Hi Dee
Bag arrived immediately: many thanks; also for dispatching the seat pad quickly enough to be used in the Eddystone challenge: it was ordered only a couple of days before.
I rowed the Eddystone Challenge - 28 miles from Plymouth round the Eddystone Light in a coastal quad scull - last Saturday using a Pro-Row seat pad. This race is challenging in more than name. Normally I'd expect to be in agony within half an hour, but despite interesting weather conditions I felt only the slightest twinge just once. We were on schedule to finish in 5 hours plus, but sadly one of our crew was seasick and had to be taken off by safety boat. That meant an extra twenty minutes waiting for this to happen, plus the extra time needed to row home with only 3 crew. Total 6 hrs 20 mins, - I call that a rigorous test of the seat pad. can't tell you how grateful I am!
Cheers
