Our verdict
The Elite is the higher-backed option in the brand's folding-seat range: a two-seat pack at $129.99 (list $149.99) with a 21.5-inch backrest, waterproof UV-resistant vinyl, and compression foam cushions. The backs fold down with tie-down straps included, and the seats bolt to the standard 5" x 5" pattern with the supplied hardware. It's a larger seat, so check your deck space before ordering — and remember sale seats can't be returned.
- Best for
- Boat owners who want two folding seats with higher back support and marine-grade materials at a discount.
- Skip if
- You need delivery outside the 48 continental US, or might return them — sale seats aren't eligible for returns.
The Elite High Back Folding Boat Seat comes as a pair for $129.99, discounted from $149.99. It's the tallest seat in Leader Accessories' folding lineup, with a 21.5-inch backrest meant to give more back support than low-back models — a sensible upgrade for long stretches on a fishing or cruising boat.
Each seat pairs waterproof, UV-resistant marine-grade vinyl with a compression foam cushion for comfort and support. The frame uses high-impact injection-molded plastic reinforced by aluminum hinges, which the brand says gives smooth folding and extra durability. When not in use, the backrest folds down and secures with the included tie-down strap for compact storage. At 17.5"W x 15"D x 21.5"H, the seats mount on the standard 5" x 5" bolt pattern, and mounting screws and washers are supplied.
Shipping is available within the 48 continental United States only — no Alaska, Hawaii, PO Boxes, APO/FPO, or international orders. Free shipping applies at $70 and above; below that it's a flat $10, with 1-2 business days of processing and 2-6 business days in transit. The return window is 30 days for regular-priced items, with prepaid labels only for defective or wrong shipments. Because these seats are currently sold at a discount, they count as sale items and can't be returned under the brand's policy.
