Recently I’ve noticed there are some seats that are thicker than others or more translucid
Does it make a difference in driving or is just something minimal?
First off, Welcome to KP!
I’ll take a crack Emilio but I’d defer to the more experienced guys…
Seats in karting are part of your suspension (they flex). Seats are a tuning aspect of a kart.
Karts have manufacturer recommended types and positions. However, a driver if non-standard shape/size may benefit from a seat with different rigidity/shape.
So, yes, they vary in shape and thickness for different drivers shapes/needs.
Seats definitely make a huge difference in your kart. Flex of the seat etc. don’t know all the details but the T11VG from Tillet is 
thanks, it’s just that in the team I’m in there’s a driver who has problems with his seat, but according to experienced workers the older and new drivers never had problems with any model of the OTK seats. So I was just wondering if the seats affect the driving cause I just started 3 months ago

I think the stock OTK seat is just that stock generic. Doesn’t really work for all drivers
it wasn’t comfortable for him and it didn’t bent a lot, but apparently they gave him another seat and he’s ok now

My only real option to buy a new seat is online. Is there something I should be looking for since I can’t try before I buy?
