I rode a Brooks Pro saddle for about 25 years. I'd replace it in the winter with a more weather resistant saddle to better handle our wet riding conditions. I thought it was reasonably comfortable. I used to tell my wife that if they need to identify my body, dental records would not be necessary; they could just use my Brooks for the match. However, I got a new "winter" saddle about 15 years ago, and it was so comfortable that I started using it for long rides and touring. The brooks never went back on any of my bikes. I'm still using the same model "winter" saddle today.

There are other good options besides Brooks saddles. If you found something that work for you, keep using it. However, I found out, almost by accident, that what seemed to be working for me could really be be improved.
