Founded in 1970, MasterCraft has been producing high end off-road seats and harnesses for all forms of off-road racing. MasterCraft seats are available in many forms and have options such as color choice, heated seats, lumbar seats, and pockets.

As leading pioneers in the recreational off-road and racing market since 1970, MasterCraft Safety, together with our recently acquired brand, Impact Racing, have been a mainstay and trusted name brand for nearly two generations of off-road and motorsports enthusiasts. The recipe to our success is simple; we were the first and we are the best. John D. Rockefeller once said, ?The secret of success is to do the common thing uncommonly well,? while Herman Melville is quoted with saying, ?It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.? These two doctrines have been a driving force for Robbie Pierce, owner and CEO of MasterCraft and Impact, and have kept both brands continually advancing and innovating.

MasterCraft is the first company to offer a suspension seat specifically designed for the off-road racing market. This seemingly simple creation provided competitors with comfort and much-needed energy attenuation lacking from the early beam suspension racecars. It didn?t take long for the recreational off-road market to demand the same level of comfort and fatigue-fighting ergonomics, thus the Rubicon® and MasterCraft Baja RS® were born. The launch of these two seats for the everyday street-to-trail recreational market forged a new level of comfort and made MasterCraft a brand that has been often imitated but never duplicated.

Founded on a tradition of maximizing racer safety, MasterCraft has since expanded its product lines to include occupant restraints rated to both the SFI 16.1 and 16.5 standard as well as SFI 27.1 rated window nets. MasterCraft also offers a full line of tie downs and ruggedized storage solutions to keep your tools and other necessities safely nestled in your weekend trail rig and your race vehicle securely strapped onto the trailer. We offer many more safety and convenience essentials, so be sure to check out our full-line up of products.

ANATOMY of a MASTERCRAFT SEAT

Constructed from mandrel bent and laser-notched .065 three-quarter inch tubing, all MasterCraft seats are expertly welded to exacting Mil-spec standards and feature either a flat strap or four-tab mount fully integrated into the frame. By incorporating the frame mounting straps, MasterCraft strengthened the overall integrity of the structure ensuring your seat can handle abuses ranging from weekend wheeling to extreme Baja racing. Finished with a high-resiliency fatigue fighting foam and fire retardant UV-treated upholstery, your MasterCraft seat has been extensively tested and validated to comply with all applicable seat criterion of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Don?t settle for inferior construction ? only a genuine MasterCraft seat offers this level of craftsmanship!

While comfort and safety on the trail is important, MasterCraft also expanded into a market where impact absorption and energy attenuation can quite literally mean the difference between life and death. As devoted patriots, Robbie Pierce and the team at MasterCraft are exceptionally proud of our work with the armed forces. Developing and testing seating systems to exceed requirements outlined by stringent military standards is never an easy task. To that end, MasterCraft took on the challenge and delivered a line of energy-mitigating seats that perform remarkably well in a conflict environment. MasterCraft?s Made in the U.S.A. defense seating and restraint systems have been used in US military combat vehicles such as the MRAP and LSAC for nearly a decade and have a proven track-record.
