Super nice seat....would have preferred to buy locally but no one could come close so....ordered it from them....

That's a sweet price. I've already missed out but told my buddy with a Skud about it. Looks like they have a pile of stuff for the XP. Thanks!

No problem wide open....really great guys to deal with as well. Super nice seat....pretty stiff but imagine it'll soften a tad once a guy gets usin it...

I'm not sure how people are gathering that the cat seat is a sponge? Barely any of us have many, if any rides on ours. There's no opportunity to get it water logged. Have any of you taken the time to look at the 2010 seat? I have... And there's only about 2-3 inches of foam. That's not much water that can get in there. As for storage, the Boss can only hold smaller things. Try throwing a spare jacket, or pants, or anything smaller than a handful in there. Not a lot of room. And finally, the boss seats are hard as a petifile in a playground. Might as well throw a bench on there. That's what you get for an extra 105$? If you're concerned about the 4 or 5 lbs of weight that much (Yes, I have weighed my Cat seat.) then maybe you should consider dieting. JMO.

Same materials as the years previous, which were sponges. And a regular 6" x 4" x 2" sponge holds a lot of water am I right? Saying the Cat seat is 24" long x 8" wide, thats a lot of water.

I couldn't care about the weight, just noticed it being heavier.

Kind of a contradictory posting... Just saying. My point was especially directed to those who already have a 2010 sled... Why spend $500+ for a seat that gives you few real benefits. Different strokes for different folks though!

I didn't know you meant towards the 2010 sled people. Personally if I had a 2010 sled, you're right I probably wouldn't be spending the $500. But since I feel the Boss sled is better, trading the unused 2010 seat I bought for a bit extra made sense.

I agree as well Rucky.... if one already had a Cat seat as on a new sled.....I wouldn't bother either as I really like the looks of the Cat seat not to mention the cost for the gain....but given the choice and its a personal one only....I was buying one as my sled is an 06 so I opted for the Boss because it doesn't absorb the water....I don't know...I have no problem getting a coat in our new seat....just my 2 cents...

boss seat all the way... in my opinion, i just picked up my 2010 crossfire le and i think the seat looks like it didnt take any design time or thought at all. It looks like they wrapped black material around a culligan water bottle and bolted it down. It felt nice to sit on but i think it brought down the whole look of the sled... i just sold it to my brother in law for 350 and got a boss shipped to my door for 430, so im happy... just my opinion. Happy trails boys!

last year i had a zx chassis and a bunch of us ordered boss seats, like 4 or 5. we ordered in june/july and didnt recieve them till newyears eve basically. no real fancy stuff like strobes or disco balls, just high/mid rise black on black. sooooo the shitasss service and the bs excuses from boss makes myself think a cat seat or factory seat or any other aftermarket seat is wayyy better!! to me if you order something in green grass season for a sled, it should be arrive at least by the the sled show!! or first downfall of the whitestuff!!JMO!!

For sure Boydo...I'd be miffed if I would have had to wait that long too. I never bought mine direct ....I bought mine from Sled-x and had it within a couple of weeks as they had to get a shipment in but they told me that up front so I was good with that. I don't get it....if it was going to be that long....why not say so rather than get a whole bunch of guys miffed at them. Sure a nice seat thou....
