I don't care for leather but I like my Cambium (rubber and cotton canvas). Sometimes computers and technology aren't always the way to go. Sometimes they can end up with great stuff and sometimes it is nothing special.

A comfort saddle should be one that is comfortable to the rider while giving good support and relieving pressure on your perineum. Those big heavy wide as a semi truck padded saddles don't give you support or pressure relief. You just sink in like a lazy boy and it weakens your sits bones which can cause that pain on down the line.

"You'll notice that I do call them "saddles," not "seats." There is a reason for this. A "seat" is something you sit on, and is designed to bear essentially your entire weight. Recumbent bicycles have "seats," but conventional upright bicycles have saddles. A saddle is intended to carry some, but not all of your weight. The rest of your weight is mainly carried by your legs, and some by your hands and arms." Sheldon Brown A Comfortable Bicycle Saddle
