Now there's an original thread topic!

After finally finding a comfortable saddle, a Selle Italia Q-bik flow, I have another problem with it. I commute in jeans. The round trip is a little over 8 mi every day. The seam of the jeans, I suppose, has worn through the cover on the narrow part of the saddle on both sides. It has only taken about 600 miles for that to happen.

Should I try to go up the product line at SI or, will I run into the same problem with the higher end covers? Don't mind spending a bit more, but they may have the same problem.

Also looking at the Charge Spoon. I like the price on that one and it's shape is very close to the Q-bik flow. I know it does not have a cutout, but I rode the factory saddle for a bit with no cutout and lacking that feature did not seem to be a problem.

I'm sure there are others with short commutes that ride in jeans, cargo shorts or something with a seam. What have you folks had good luck with?
