These weren't available when I bought my Airhawk a few years ago but its the same size as the "Cruiser Pillion Small" and the fixing system seems much better, it may be worth the extra £9 or so

Yeah they're not cheap, but if you do serious distances and suffer as a result then they could make a real difference to your well being.

That one on Bykebitz looks interesting. It seems to be identical to the Airhawk small pillion model (it says that it's made by them), except for the straps. I've just ordered the Airhawk-branded version for £76.99, just wondering if the different straps make the other worth £21 more?

In my experience gel pads don't work unless your seat is awful to begin with. Airhawks are far better but don't overfill, you have to get the right amount in for you. Otherwise you are floating about and sitting far too high. But I've found if you stop for fuel every 50 miles neither is necessary.
