There is no point telling the OP that you have found a comfortable saddle for you. He needs a comfortable saddle for him. Everyone is different. I would only contribute that saddle width is often ignored. That relates to placement of the sit bones. They are called sit bones for a reason. You have to sit on them. If your sit bones are wide and off the saddle and you sit on your crotch, you will be in pain from start to finish. You have to sit on your sit bones. I need a 142mm wide saddle, not the 127mm saddles that are so common. Can't say what OP needs. All I am recommending is include width in the list of charateristics to test. Also cut out. Also padding. More is not always better as said wlsewhere in this thread. Yes, saddle comfort characteristics are counterintuitive. One more thing: find a shop with a try out program and make use of it. Good luck.
