I am tweeking my L'Edge bulkhead/saddle system.
I am adding more side wall foam to increase my knee contact with the chine of the boat and adding hip pads to connect my hips.
Does anybody have a hip pad design that they really like and doesn't rip out over time with getting in or out of the boat?
In other words, what shape should I cut the gip pads?

When you buy the cupped knee pads they come with the pieces they cut out of the middle. Those pieces work really well as a hip pad. I cut mine so they go from flush at the bottom to full size at the top where your hip make contact. Because of the taper there is no worry of getting stuck or ripping them out. Here's a picture that kind of shows what I mean. not a great angle though.
