Narrowest Fixed back seats
Who makes the narrowest off the shelf fixed back race seats that are non-halo? Female 5'4" size 2. XS cool shirt was too big kind of size.
OMP seemed to be the biggest without getting XL. I need to know the other side of the spectrum.

Cobra makes a nice narrow FIA seat called the 'Racer Pro' that I used to run in a Lotus.
It's specifically made for narrow cockpits and was done up in a durable breathable cooling fabric. It was a very nice quality seat and its non-halo.
Reasonably priced, too.

If you're not opposed to using an aluminum seat, UltraShield has a line of "Small Adult" seats that go all the way down to 11" widths. Fiberglass-wise Bride always seems to be pretty small.
You can get an idea of the width you need by holding 2 books or hard objects on the outside of your hips while sitting down and having someone measure the inside distance between them.

From doing some digging, it seems like the Sparco Ego in a size Small is probably spot on. Now the challenge is finding one for her to sit in somewhere. That seat seems to be limited to 5'5" and 120 lbs which is perfect.
Now if she ever wants somebody really good to get in her car and put down a fast reference lap, she will have to start looking for jockeys, but that is her problem.

A kid or two usually fixes this. Enjoy the "problem" of your women being "too skinny" while it lasts!

Not hardly. She has had a child. If I posted her age I would be dead meat but she is in the top 10% in the world in the Crossfit Games in her age group. I don't think I have anything to worry about. She has gotten more fit in the last 5 years. She instructs on the side for fun and kicks most guys asses.
