These seats are actually fire.

"These seats are actually fire. I throw em down on the picnic blanket, or on the truck tailgate, they keep you warm and comfy, Hiked with this in my pack and put it on a river rock to sit in the river, way more comfortable than sitting on the bare rock. Really enjoying this pad."
