WWFF06,

To get off the "to wear or not to wear" discussion and back to your original question, I wear a Softie seatpack chute in the Pitts. If I remember my Super D days correctly, I would guess you have more room to adjust vertically than horizontally so I'd think a seatpack, rather than a backpack, might be most suitable. Softie make a seatpack specifically for the Pitts (narrow seat pan) that may work just right. It's not soft and cushie, but it's perfectly comfortable for a couple of hours and I've done several of those legs in one day and been in good shape at the end (both of me and the day!).

If you find yourself at Popham, I can let you try mine on and see if it works for you. Drop me a PM to arrange if you'd like.
