"If inflatable seats are subject to expansion or contraction due to temperature changes, then it's not been noticeable to me. "
[cool][#0000ff]That has never been a noticeable problem on my inflatable seats either. But, there have been a few tubers who have complained about soft seats or slipping out of the seats and the problem usually turns out to be either underinflation before launching or deflation in cold water.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I recently DID experience a problem with EXPANSION. The bottom seat cushion on my SFC split a seam when I let it sit in the hot sun for a while after coming ashore and before I could bleed off some air. I had taken care of that on my tube, but overlooked the heavily inflated lower seat. (It was replaced quickly by Outcast with a phone call and overnight shipping)[/#0000ff]
