REI lets you return a saddle for up to a year. I'd take advantage of their policy, If you are like most of us returning to riding, you'll start with a "cushy" saddle and do fine for a couple of months, then need something slimmer and easier on your pernium (taint.) The more you ride, 2 things are going to happen. Your seat post will go up and your saddle will get more "racy." Make a tracing of your sits bones (get a clean piece of cardboard, set it on a step and sit on it for a few minutes.) Get up and run a piece of chalk or crayon over it. The 2 circles (indentations) where there's no chalk are your sitz bones. Measure the distance (in mm) between the center of these indentations. Thats what your saddle needs to support. God luck. Most of us have a bunch of old, no longer used saddles!
