Mine has faded pretty quickly but I just got back from a tour where it saw lots of sun and some rain. Probably about 1500-2000 kms over 5 weeks or so. It's light grey now and the tweed has worn away around the rivits, still in the sits bones area I don't see any wear and the comfort of the thing makes it a winner.
This saddle is so comfortable I am thinking of ditching my 1981 professional select (thickest leather I have ever seen on a saddle) for another cambium. C17 again but perhaps in tan. I have never ridden a saddle this comfortable and I believe the pricing is very reasonable for these saddles. They are a major breakthrough in saddle comfort for me.
