Captains Chair What kind did/would you buy?

Obviously not all seats are created equal. 100k plus miles/yr deserves a great chair to work from. What seat did or would you buy to replace your drivers seat?

There is no such thing as a "BACK-HAUL" everything has a start and stop point, If it needs to be moved then it is a load, period. Insurance, tires, fuel,etc... aren't any cheaper heading towards your home than they are going away. BACKHAUL is BS.

I was looking at the Sears online a while ago but the best thing would probably go over and try it out.

All I know is that if you spend most of your time in that seat, you need something to cover your ###...good

They ride a touch higher than the bolstroms that were in there before and are way softer and smoother riding.
