The wettest any of my Brooks has ever been was on a 90/90 century. I sweated so much I soaked it through, Proofide and all. To add insult to injury, my non-lightweight rear was on the saddle for hours after it was soaked. I've carried a saddle cover to prevent a recurrence since then, and haven't killed another one.
