My wife found an article by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) on saddles related to bike messengers and bicycle police. They recommended noseless saddles and I think named a few.

After looking and researching I tried the ISM Adamo saddle. It took a while for my sits bones to adjust but the numbness went away immediately. I recommend it highly. I'm sure there are other saddles that work, but that is where I landed.

Good luck
