It appears to use the same plastic mesh used in Herman Miller Aeron chairs. The mesh is said to provide air flow, lightweight and improved comfort.

Leather. Brooks or Lepper.

It is the best saddle I have owned! I even found a way to make it better, if you break (or cut ) the sides plastic rails the saddle gives even more suspension. The original design had breaks in the side rails, however the final version had a complete rail on the outside due to warranty concerns.

Thanks,

As with any saddle, it might work for you personally or it might not fit you.

The only caveat about those saddles I've heard is that sometimes the mesh may separate from the frame.

I've read that that has happened with earlier versions - don't really know how well the current models endure. I do see that they offer a one year warranty.
