maybe the claim is exaggerated, IDK.
The watershed designed saddles are treated, but due to the weight of the rider, it's quite possible that they were riding a legacy saddle that doesn't have the watershed treatment. Riding that saddle in the rain without waterproofing, and adjusting while wet will destroy it pretty quickly. Ive ridden over 40k miles on SA watershed saddles without any treatment or problems due to them getting wet. And with living in Florida I've done my share of riding in the rain.
