My Arione saddle is beginning to fail. Specifically the cover and padding is tearing off at the nose of the saddle.

The saddle does have a few thousand miles on it but generally I expect saddles to last longer than that.

So. Did I just crap out and get a random defect or have any of you all experienced similar? I'm inclined to replace with a new Arione unless there's alot of negative responses out there.
