Light-weight snowmobile seat

A snowmobile seat comprising:

• a base section;
• a first hook-and-loop type fastener, coupled to the base section, configured to engage vertically and resist horizontal movement;
• and
• a second snap type fastener, coupled to the base section, configured to engage horizontally and resist vertical movement.

A snowmobile seat comprising:

• a base section;
• and
• first hook-and-loop type fasteners and second fasteners, configured to be coupled between the base section and the snowmobile,
• the first hook-and-loop type fasteners being coupled to the base section and configured to be coupled to the snowmobile to resist horizontal movement between the base section and the snowmobile, and to maintain a connection between the second fasteners,
• the second fasteners being coupled to the base section and configured to be coupled to the snowmobile to resist vertical movement between the base section and the snowmobile, and to maintain a connection between the first hook-and-loop type fasteners.

A snowmobile seat comprising:

• a generally rigid base section;
• a flexible seat section, disposed on the base section;
• a space, disposed between the lower surface of the rigid base section and the upper surface of the flexible seat section, defining an air chamber;
• and
• a cover, covering at least a portion of the seat section;
• and
• at least one air passage, extending from the air chamber;
• the flexible seat section deflecting between (i) a first position in which the seat section is substantially undeflected and defines the air chamber, and (ii) a second position in which the seat section deflects into the air chamber forcing air from the air chamber and through the at least one air passage.

A snowmobile seat, comprising:

• a flexible seat section formed of open cell foam and having an upper surface over which a rider may sit;
• a substantially rigid base section, supporting the flexible seat section, formed of a closed cell foam with cell walls and cell voids such that the base section is substantially rigid and light weight;
• and
• a cover, covering at least the flexible seat section, made of a water resistant material to resist moisture from being absorbed by the flexible seat section.
