I had an airhawk a few years ago. It helped make the ride more comfortable but still didn't let me ride more than 2 hours without squirming, so I sold it. It was sort of like a balloon - when you sat on it, much of the air moved into the part you weren't sitting on and the part you were on was "thin" air instead of bigger cushion. After that, I tried beaded seats and then a lamb's wool pad. As with the air hawk, both helped some but didn't solve the problem.
About 2 months ago, I purchased a memory foam/gel pad cushion from Air Rider. It was about the same price as the air hawk but provided much more relief. I can now ride tank-to-tank without stopping. BUT - as with all good things, there is a down side. If you leave it out in the sun when you stop, the gel retains heat and the "boys" are going to be very unhappy for a good while!!
