Reebok pumps (no sew method to alleviate hip pinch?)

[Jtaylor]

I have an idea to add air bladders at pressure points in a saddle. Has this been done before? Pros/cons? I have an air seat on the passenger seat of my Harley for the wife and they're super durable and comfortable just trying to figure out how to incorporate into a saddle. Thanks!

Interesting idea. MAybe start with something like a thermarest pillow?

Similar to this but wraps up around the hips. Velcro on 4 points to attach to molle loops. https://www.billetproofdesign.com/a...eat-cushion-with-black-cover-made-in-the-usa/

This doesn’t envelope the hips, but they’re rather durable and comfy. https://hunterspec.com/product/bunsaver-seat-cushion

Reebok pumps makes me think of these sewn in on either side of a saddle. https://www.menards.com/main/buildi...ing-tool/wb2040cs/p-1506100641839-c-13059.htm

Thanks guys! I have a Kestrel clone I'm working on from an old thread here and I wanted to incorporate something into the hip/seat portion for hip pinch and hot spots. I think with some strategically placed pockets and a velcro closure at least one of these pads will work.

So I found an inflatable camp pillow that fits my sit drag perfectly and even has round areas at the dreaded "hip pinch" locations. It can be attached if your saddle has molle loops via straps, shock cord, velcro, buttons, etc. The fabric is a tad noisy so I'll be working on a fleece cinch bag to put it in before attaching to the sit drag. I think it'll be nice in the winter too for added insulation. The air can be adjusted in the bladder almost infinitely.
