I'm not sure what defines a touring saddle as compared to any other saddle one might sit on for hours on end.
I walked into a bike shop this spring and asked for a recommendation. The guy gave me a WTB Speed V. I loved it immediately. Could ride all day on it. My wife has always ridden an Avocet women's saddle, one of their earliest models. I had her try the WTB Speed She. She hated it.
There is a purpose behind the initials SWMBO, especially when it comes to bike saddles.
