Not that I can speak towards a brooks. I have a fitz ardonee (or something like that). Works fine except for the creaks are bugging me.
Sorry; it's been a busy weekend!
The intent of padding is to spread your weight out in a larger area than just your sit bones.
Leather saddles do this better because they conform to your whole butt and the result is a more comfy ride.
The only penalty is weight; those hard racing saddles are designed to be as light as possible, and if that's important to you then Brooks is not for you...
