Off road seat size guide

Off-road seats are sized on your waist like any other bucket seat. What sets them apart is that head support is close to standard rather than optional, and that the range is split almost evenly between side mount and base mount.

Head support comes as standard hereNearly every seat in this range has an integrated headrest or includes one. Across our circuit bucket seat range it is closer to a coin flip. Rough ground moves your head about in a way a smooth circuit does not, and the seats are built accordingly.

Measure yourself sitting

1Sit on a hard, flat chairFeet flat, knees together, back straight. No cushion.

2Measure across your hipsThe widest point, side to side, sitting down.

3Measure in what you drive inOveralls and a jacket add real bulk. Take the wider seat if it is close.

Waist bands

Band	Notes
28 to 32 inch	Narrow. Ring us, the choice is very limited
32 to 36 inch	The standard size and most of the range
36 to 38 inch	A half step wider
36 to 40 inch	The wide shells
All sizes suitable	Generously cut, mostly the reclining ones

Around half of these suit all heights and a good number are listed as under six foot, so if you are tall, filter on height first. The tall end of this range is thin.

Fixed back or reclining

Most of these are fixed back and a smaller number recline. Fixed back is the right answer for competition and for anything where you are strapped in with a harness and staying there. Reclining suits a green laner, a trials car or anything you drive to the event, where being able to sit up and see out matters more than the last bit of lateral support.

Mounting

This range splits close to evenly between side mount and base mount, which is unusual. Our circuit bucket seats are overwhelmingly side mount and our road sport seats overwhelmingly base mount, so do not assume off-road follows either. Check the fixing type on the seat before you order any brackets.

Nearly all of these are sold as the seat only, so budget for brackets and a subframe on top. Our seat mounting and fixing points guide covers which is which.

Approval

Close to half of these carry FIA 8855-1999 and the rest are Road and Track. That is a much higher proportion of FIA seats than the road sport range, which reflects how many of these end up in competition cars. If you are running in a championship, check the approval on the product and check what your regulations require.

What to look for in a seat that gets used off-road

Drainage and trim

An open car and a wet field are hard on a seat. Vinyl and neoprene shrug off water and mud and wipe clean. Velour and suede do not, and they hold the smell of both. If the car has no roof, that decides it.

Getting in and out

High side bolsters are what stop you sliding around, and they are also what you have to climb over every time. In a car with a cage and a narrow door aperture, a slightly lower bolster is worth the small loss in support because you will be in and out of it all day.

Harness holes

Check the seat takes the harness you plan to run. Most here take a four point and a good number take a six point, and it is listed on every product. On rough ground the sub straps are what stop you sliding forwards under the lap belt, so a six point is worth having if the seat and the car allow it.

Tell us what the car doesCompetition, green laning, trials or a bit of everything, plus your seated hip measurement and whether the car has a cage. It changes the answer more than the measurement does. Call 0115 989 3488 or email Sales@GSMPerformance.co.uk.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Discover the Auto Style Type AK Reclining Sports Seat, and Auto Style Type Classic Bucket Seats Now Available to View In-Store. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.

Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers with a 32in to 36in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.

Is this seat FIA approved?
No, this is a road and track day seat rather than a homologated competition seat. For events that require an FIA seat, look at the FIA-approved shells in the range, and ask us if you are unsure what your series needs.

What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.

Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 4 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.

How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.

In-store displays:

We have a premium range of over 125 seats from brands including: Bimarco, Cobra, Corbeau, Sparco, OMP, Recaro, GP-Race, and Bride to name just a few brands we work with.
