  1. Looking for a place that carries this type of O ring
  2. Closed cell foam like vinyl nitrile like Weaver sells and foams like Cashel uses in their pads will start breaking down because the air bubbles start popping after repeated compression. I have seen major seat bone depressions with these types of foams. The need for closed cell for not allowing moisture is still there. I do not like the memory type foams for seats because it is not comfortable when riding long hours. We compete in competitive trail and have done so for the past 28 years. The soft foam can work it's way up if you know what I mean. What I found is a combination of closed and open in one of the Poron gasket foams that is 3/8 thick. It is firm enough and water will not readily seep in. It has a smooth finish as well, which helps. I then try to use a Bison cover because it seems to bead water pretty well. This foam has a 20 year life left uncovered and will not show depressions. It also absorbs impact very well. Regardless of the type of foam used, if the ground seat is not formed properly, it will not provide the most comfort over the long haul.
