NXT Optima Carbon Back Support
The Optima Carbon Thoracic Back Support was specifically designed for optimal pelvic positioning while providing proper support to the users thoracic region. The Optima Carbon Back Support is manufactured from T700 high-modulus carbon fibre, the lightest and most rigid carbon fibre available. This back support is ideal for those active users who wish to keep the total weight of their chair down without sacrificing material strength or performance. The Optima is available in a Standard and Deep lateral contour depth. The Deep offers an adjustable depth of 5.5 in. to 7 in. (14 cm to 17.8 cm) for optimal mid-line support and positioning.
NXT Back Supports offer pelvic or thoracic shapes having posterior, posterior lateral and posterior deep lateral supports. The full or scapula cut-out shapes are designed to provide excellent support and comfort while enhancing the user’s natural range of motion. The Quick-Fit Hardware is fully adjustable and the pelvic positioning pads provide optimal positioning of the pelvis for exceptional comfort and support.
More Information
Features:
A: One-piece ultralight carbon fibre shell. Manufactured from T700 high-modulus carbon fibre, the lightest and most rigid available
B: Higher lateral contours, providing better support in the thoracic region while maintaining optimal pelvic positioning.
C: Optima Carbon is available in a Standard and Deep lateral contour depth. The Deep contour offers an adjustable depth of 5.5″ to 7 (14cm to 17.8cm) for optimal midline positioning and support.
One handed quick release

Pelvic positioning cut-out
The pelvic positioning cut out provides a space for the buttocks to protrude beyond the back for a better, more natural seated position.
smartx3D cover
Unlike two-dimensional fabrics, smartx3D uses a three-layer technology that includes two separate fabrics joined by a monofilament yarn that creates a breathable channel between the two fabrics. It is this channel that gives smartx3D its 3D structure and creating a “micro-climate” between layers. Heat and vapour move easily through the highly permeable fabric layer. smartx3D naturally offers a four-way stretch which provides enhanced immersion, aiding in pressure redistribution. Soft, breathable, resistant to pilling and with moisture-wicking properties, smartx3D offers the ultimate in comfort.
smartGEL
The combination of NXT’s smartx3D fabric and smartGEL foam provides the ultimate in comfort and support. NXT’s smartGEL foam offers a higher IFD (Indent Force Deflection and Density), yet it is incredibly soft, highly resilient, and long-lasting. smartGEL is a Visco Elastic foam that is infused with gel. The gel is incorporated into the foam mixture at the molecular level, which allows for 100% homogeneous cooling with no breakdown of embedded gel beads. This reduces surface temperature, drawing heat away from the skin while providing superior comfort and softness.
