H3 Front Seats - Page 2

I knew there was an old post regarding seats so here's why I'm resurrecting it.  My leather seats always seemed fine and I wondered why this post came up in March.  But yeah, I did it, I went and got in shape and lost weight (Kind of a good thing when you do my job).  Anyway... Now thet I'm 5'10" and 168 these seats are killing me!  I have moved the power seat every way I can think of but it still hurts my can man.  I'm wondering if this issue only afflicts us skinny dudes, and dudettes?

One solution would be to put your weight back on!!
 
Replace them with Recaro seats.

Not sure on the leather seats, but the cloth ones are very firm which is a good thing for your back, not quite so good if you have a bony butt like me.  Much better than a soft seat.  Leather seats make it that much worse because you slide on then your back muscles have to work to keep you upright.
 
I have a Recao seat in my garage waiting on one of the bracket manufacturers to design a bracket for the H3, or for me to go out and have one made.  My 1300 mile road trip this week may just be the motivation I need to get it done.

I don't slide around on my leather seats probably because I don't oil them up.  And replacing them is out because that's cash I can spend on kewl stuff like a winch or under armour for the drive train.  Maybe I'll just buy a nice fanny pad like the truck drivers use so they don't have to buy so much Preparation H...

Did you mean Recaro seats?  It would be nice to have a set!!
 
 

It's eithe a cheep Chinese knock off, or the batteris in mt keyboard are going out.

Yes, it's a Recaro Sport all I could find was a thumbnail pic of it in my F150.

Same modal as in the Cobra R in your pic, but mine has all the options heat, cool, electric controls with cloth seating surface and leather bolsters.



I just have the one, so its not a set.... unless you count the Recaro Start that is already installed in the back seat.

Even after bouncing over rocks most of the day Saturday and 3 hour one way trips on each side of that the leather seats in the Alpha were fine. Guess they had my butt in mind when they designed the seat.

I find the seats very comfortable .  I'm only 5'2" and 100 lbs. but my husband who is 5'10" and about 200lbs. says they are also comfortable.  I have leather seats.

Around town or a couple-three hours, the seats are OK. Go on a 5-8 hour trip and they are not good. The seats and two lane passing power with the I5 are the two worst things about the H3.

I just got done driving to Key West and back a total of 1220 miles. On the way back we went through the everglades so it ended up taking us 15 hours to get back and let me tell you my seats killed me. I really do think that it is due to the peddal placement though as when I was using cruise controll it did not bother me much at all, it was only bad when I was not able to use cruise controll.

Just did a non-stop (minus fuel fill-ups) 1250 mile drive from OKC, OK to Warren, PA in 18 hours.  Have the cheap seats in my 07, and will tell you, it was without a doubt a very uncomfortable ride.  A$$ hurt, left knee had a bruise from riding against the door arm rest.  Believe me, the return trip 6 days later was worse than the trip up.  Guess GM took more than just the great looks from American General's HMMWV, they took the canvas covered plywood seat concept as well!!
 
Man, I love this HUMMER

I don't get it!  I drove 1600 miles in my H3X and had no problems with my seats.  When you look at the bucket seats they are not unlike other cars that I have owned.  You guys must have pansy butts  The only problem I have with my Hummer is the gas gauge and inability to pass gas stations.  :(
