I am coming around to the Brooks philosophy. My next saddle purchase will likely be a standard B-17. As I understand it, the B-17 Imperial speaks to the sweat issue. So also would a decent pair of biking shorts worn under whatever you wanted to wear over them, if anything. FWIW and on the off chance that this is not information that is widely known. I have it on good authority that if, for whatever reason one is unable to purchase a Brooks saddle then one should try a Selle San Marco Rolls or a Selle San Marco Regale. These are plastic saddles with firm padding and leather covers and are reputed to be VERY comfortable. And cheaper too, but not cheap. A Rolls will run around $75. There are Brooks knock-offs that are cheaper than that. I don't know anything about Brooks knock-offs. Their longevity is likely their achilles heel.
