KAPOK: Naturally cool fiber and very silky
and soft. Fibers are resisting to water and formation of rot, which add more
natural comfort to the seat. It helps to maintain comfort on long ride.
SEAT DISCOMFORT: Long period of static seating causes blood pooling and
discomfort in the lower extremities. Seat temperature and humidity also
increase the discomfort. Many factors may influence seat comfort, such as the
postural support provided to the body, contact pressures with the body and the
thermal and humidity properties of the seat.
