Do you have narrow hips? I can honestly say my selle Italia gel flow mono link has done wonders, it's so friggin narrow and flexible in all the right spots and the new ones have an even larger cut out....they look like they have next to zero padding but it gives so much and is so narrow you don't need it. Both my friends get saddle sores, I've yet to ever have an issue. I had the Arizona and loved it, this just blows it out of the water
