Have a mirage outback 19 and the vantage chair that came with it. Really like the features of the chair - it just kills by back after a few hours and I usually go on long trips.

Anyone made any chair mods, or have been able to swap out with other chairs successfully?

Thanks

I'm not sure what sort of mods you are looking for? I have had no issues on many 6+ hour outings using the available adjustments for the CTw seat- changing the slope of the base, angle of the back, and lumbar adjustment.

Coming from years of fishing a PA14, the Outback 19 is just not as comfortable. The fact that no matter how hard I try, I cannot stay dry makes it very uncomfortable on the 12hr+ trips I use to do on the PA14. It took a while to get accustomed to it, but the high seat setting is most comfortable for me. I find making a conscious effort to frequently stand up and stretch is helpful. I have resolved to just using the outback for shorter trips, and on the bright side cover more ground in less time.

Thanks. I've tried a lot of different chair positions. I will try this foam back support I saw on another thread: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073W ... UTF8&psc=1

I'm not optimistic that is going to do the trick. I was hoping someone had tried a different chair altogether... maybe even found a way to get a Vantage XT chair rigged in somehow. I realize that's stretch, but I've seen some pretty creative things.
