Excellent comparison. Seriously. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Thank you!
I really appreciate the feedback! 👍😁
Great review enjoyed that.The outback has much more going for it but you get what you pay for.Thanks for sharing Happy new year from UK.
Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
You are very correct about getting what you pay for 😉
Happy New Year 😁
Great video and great comparison!
Thanks! I hope it helps a bit 😁
It looks to me that Hobbie took some of your idea's to improve your old Compass to improve their new Compass. Great video! Hammer
Thanks!
I’d like to think Hobie watched my video, but I think there’s been lot’s of guys that have commented on the drawbacks of the old seat…😉
Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Great Video for learning the difference looks like you spent some big bucks ! Enjoy the new outback !
Thanks!
Yes, It took me a long time to save enough money for the Hobie kayaks… but it was well worth it! 👍😉
I have both an outback and compass older models, the outback seat is noticeably more comfortable. not that the compass was bad. looks like the 2022 compass has a upgrade on the seat.
I’ve been out on the Outback a few times now and you’re correct. The Outback seat is noticeably more comfortable!
I never had an issue with the Compass seat except for the placement of that back bar that would hit me right at the tailbone unless I scooted forward in the seat a little …😉
Good comparison... Nice job. Thank you.
Thank you, I hope it helps a bit 😁
That issue with the bar on the seat on the compass could be rectified with small section of pool noodle slotted lengthwise
Yes, that would give it some padding, however it would still be pushing into your tailbone area…
Might feel better though 😉👍
Wow. Amazing my friends 👍
Thank you! 😁
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Great comparison, thanks!
Thanks! I hope this helps a bit 😉😁
What is better for leg room with the drive? I’m 6’3” and all legs . In another video a person was talking about the compass having more leg room from seat to drive.
I just measured from the back of the seat to the center of the mirage drive pivot point on both the compass and the Outback.
They both measure 38”.
Hope that helps a bit 😁
Show esse dois caiaque, mais escrito tmj 🤜🤛🇧🇷
Nice review! Can you comment on the stability when you stand up fishing on these?
I don’t fish standing up very much myself since I fish mostly deep water, but I do stand up to stretch my legs a bit.
I find it very easy to stand up and look around without feeling like I might fall over…
I do think the outback is just a little more stable than the compass, but not by much 😁
Hi, useful review even for a french beginner...
Is the weight difference between the 2 kayaks felt when you put the outback on the roof of a car or when you take it out of the water?
Glad you liked the video! 👍
I really don’t notice much of a difference between the 2 when cartopping…
The heaviest part is lifting the bow up to the rack, but they both aren’t that bad…( I have shoulder issues and I can still get them up there.) 😉
Thank you very much. Now I am convinced, I will buy an Outback
The Compass is a great kayak, but I have to admit, the Outback is much better! 😉👍
That’s a 2023 Outback, right?
No, it’s a 2022 Outback 😁
good video but why do people put very annoying music behind the voice?
Thanks for the feedback.
I always go back and forth between having background music or not…
Some find it takes away from the info and some think it adds to the mood of the video…😉
I don't understand why all the Hobies can't have the same seat
I can see having different seat options so you can have different price points, but it would be great if they all mounted the same so you could upgrade if you wanted to…👍😁
