Thank you for your answer.

> On a computer?

What sentence do you refer to?

> you ask essentially who bought all those saddles.

No. Any of them. It is not comparison between saddles but comparison to well known (?) objects from non-bicycle world.

> perhaps you should just ride them each ,

It means "buy them all". I asked exactly for reason avoiding such move, some of them are pretty expensive (Mantra for example).

> your butt will tell you more than words from a keyboard..

Again, it is not a question of personal preference, but estimation of hardness. Nothing more, nothing less. When I press (with my fingers) any saddle I can tell "oh, this is soft as sponge". I don't have to test it with my bicycle to notice that.

> perhaps more traditional types? Rolls and Turbo, or a Tensioned leather Brooks Pro.

From my experience I need something narrower than 140 mm. I considered Brooks before, but it is no-go because those saddles are not waterproof. I need something much more robust.

@CraigB,

Thank you for your input, in such case I will stick to ergonomic ones (with hole in the middle). Once I will test any of them, I will know if such version works for me.
