Compact
Suspension seat designed to fit in limited spaces.
The Ullman Compact Jockey Seat is designed to protect the crew and passengers of high speed craft from injury.
The seat design optimises body posture while the Ullman semi active progressive shock mitigation system takes care of the high forces during impact.
The Ullman Compact Jockey Seat has a lower backrest and shorter saddle sides for lateral support in a straddling position, compared to its siblings Biscaya and Patrol. The lower, narrower seat design allows for installation in limited space and gives excellent comfort and support. To further improve seating geometry the Compact seat includes a top handle manufactured of stainless steel (316) that gives support for passengers standing or sitting behind the seat. A zipped neoprene pouch for gear is located on the rear of the backrest.
Materials
The entire Ullman marine seating range is made from all non-corrosive materials, all fully compliant with the toughest military specifications. The water resistant upholstery is designed for use on open boats in extreme conditions. Each seat is delivered with UV-protected Weather Protection Covers.

Accessory: Lap belt air tech
Where there is risk for capsizing, crews on cabin boats are recommended to use lap belts. This is to prevent head and neck injuries when a boat gets turned upside down. For open high-speed boats lap belts are recommended for the navigator seats. This enables the navigator to use both hands for navigation tasks.
