I have a Selle Anatomica. Now that it's summer time my seat is covered with sweat when I finish commuting twice a day. Once the seat is covered with water/sweat, it doesn't seem like more water will matter much. I'd have to think my saddle gets as wet from sweat as it would if I road home from the pool. The leather seems to be holding up pretty good.
