Default Bride Seats- Help me pick!

My next mod will be some bride seats, I cannot decide on which set to go with! I'm about a 33-34 waist, about 5'9"-5'10" and car seems some long trips occasionally. I like the ergos II, but not sure how comfortable they are. What do you guys think? I could be safe and go with the XAX II... what do you guys think?

I'm going with the black leather, gradiation, red stitching.


XAX II:




ERGO II

I think that there's a good chance that the Ergo will be more comfortable.....they certainly look better....BUT when getting into the car, you'll hit the high side, and wear that spot more than the rest, probably. They are similar enough looking that it doesn't much matter.

yeah, the side walls in the 2nd seat looks too high and you might benefit more from the first one. you can get in easier and i'm sure they're both made of the same material so they'll both sit you nicely. If you auto cross a lot or make sharp turns then the 2nd ones might hold you in nicer.

Guys, thanks for the feedback... those who are picking ergo II, why do you think they will be more comfortable? They seem too snug IMHO.

i had Ergo II as you can see from the F/S forum. 33-34 you should be okay. XAX II is for easy in and out of the car type of deal, and it is like sparco style seats with lower sidewalls compare to ERGOs.

I'm about the same size as you and run BRIX II which are more like the Ergo and trust me they are snug! I love them but from what you are saying you probably would like the XAX II better.

You won't be happy with the Ergos. Go with the Xax if you want a bucket or the Pros if you can deal with a non-reclineable seat.

I love my XAX's. Make sure your sure about the color you pick 1st time around. I bought black but later decided on red. They're being recovered as I speak and the bride fabric is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. XAX's is a great choice.
