FWIW, I ride a lot in the rain and snow.

I'm not sure why people are so worried about getting the saddle wet.
I let mine get soaked (it is proofided) and so far, no issues. I love my Brooks, but if my practice of not covering it when it is wet means that I somehow ruin it prematurely, then I will replace it with something more practical. It's a saddle. It SHOULD be good for all conditions with no special treatment. Okay, rant over
To the OP - The Terry Liberator series comes to mind.
