ABSTRACT:
A light-weight vehicle seat, particularly well suited for snowmobiles, has a rigid base section for mounting on a vehicle. The base section has a closed-cell structure with cell walls and cell voids such that the base section is substantially light-weight. The closed-cell structure also resists absorbing water, insulates the rider from heat generated by the vehicle, and muffles noise created by the vehicle. The vehicle seat has a flexible seat section for providing a cushioned seat. The vehicle seat also has a waterproof cover for covering the base section and seat section. The vehicle seat is preferably attached to the vehicle with hook-and-loop type fasteners. A utility cavity is formed in the seat. Alternatively, the seat section may be removably disposed on the base section and seat sections of various flexibility provided to suit the weight of the rider.
