"since I wasn't able to find any measurements online: hoping this will help the next nerd decide if this fits their butt :) thank you for normalizing big and fat people in climbing environments :D the seating pad exists out of three layers (pictures added). and the size of the toplayer foam is 43 cm by 22 cm (17 inch by 8. 6inch)"
"The BD Bosuns chair is super comfortable to sit in while I'm shooting pictures of climbers. I would love if BD had more information on how to set it up and adjust it easier, but overall amazing upgrade to my set up."
"I have been using this belay chair to set climbing routes at our indoor climbing wall. Makes long days sitting in your harness way more bearable. Highly recommend."
"So to start this off, this product should not be called a Bosun's Chair. It really should be called a belay chair. This belay chair is slightly heavy for shorter walls but I discovered that the metal frame can be taken out. This obviously reduces the benefit of the chair but from personal experience it is still much nicer than nothing. I like the simple back rest. Doubles as a swing for the 99% of the year I'm not on a big wall."
"Soft and large for a 6ft guy"
"I was surprised by how comfortable this chair is. I had considered making a DIY belay seat but I'm glad that I spent a bit of money to buy this instead. Great for long belays."
"For a brand with credibility to market such an unsafe product , without explaining that you also need to use full climbing harness at the same time is completely irresponsible"
"Works well to save the legs from going asleep while hanging from a static line for long periods of time"
"Haven't used it on a hanging belay but it works great as a chair for my van!"
"When repairing routes - this is a leg saver! You don’t lose your blood supply to your legs and it is super comfortable and safe."
