Not true, I have both and tend to prefer the Superior brand pads in cordura - less slippery when sweaty. More of a factor with heavier boats." Fair points, though I think the Bourquins are of slightly higher quality and I was looking for a smaller leather pad rather than cordura for this canoe. If these don't pan out the Superior's were #2 on my list. But I can't do the CVCA pads, have them on my tandem and the metal digs into my shoulders. I really dislike Superiors webpage though, and they have a non-functioning webstore and pretty much zero info on the pad options. OP, if these show up and I hate them I will let you know so you can buy them! |

Stichy64: "It looks like these are still available from Bourquin. I just ordered a pair of the lightweight adjustable yesterday. Much excited, maybe overkill for 30lb solo canoe, but everything else out there kind of sucks. |
