Recommend a layback seat post?

Can anyone recommend a layback seat post that doesn't cost the earth for my Giant Explore? I need to get my torso a few extra centimetres further back. As you can see from the image below I've probably already overstepped where I should have my seat located on the stock post. I don't need suspension - I'm okay with a brittle ride for now.

What diameter is your seatpost?
You're looking for an "offset," not a "layback."

Here's a listing of some aluminum seatposts with a 25mm (almost an inch) offset: https://www.modernbike.com/seatposts+diameteris30.9-+rminoffsetis25+seatpost-materialisaluminum

Thank you for the link and correction in terminology - I've never had to buy a seat post before. The diameter is 30.9mm and I'm probably after a 400mm post.

Edit: your push in the right direction led me to this one: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/au/en/ritchey-comp-2-bolt-seatpost-2020/rp-prod190760. Just waiting on a B17 saddle to arrive and see how it fits. If it's still a little far forward I'll order the Ritchey. Cheers
