I'm looking at a couple of different Selle SMP saddles, more specifically the Pro and the Hell/Well models primarily. I currently have a TRK which just replaced a Selle Italia man flow gel saddle that I bought last year and wore a hole through the leather on one side of the nose of it. It was ruining my cycling shorts so I had to get something quickly...so went with their least expensive saddle, the TRK.

I like it for the most part after doing a lot of tweaking and adjustments. The only complaint I have is a rubbing/chafing issue in my groin area at the very top of my legs. Best way to describe it is it feels like tendons that tighten up on every pedal stroke in my groin area....they end up rubbing the side of the saddle. If it wasn't such a gradual taper from the back to the nose of the saddle then I don't think this would be an issue. I'm sure all the padding on the TRK doesn't help either.

So enter the Pro or the lesser expensive Hell/Well. It appears that these saddles don't have such a gradual taper like the TRK does, along with not as much padding. So I'm wondering if these might be better options for me, and I'm wondering if people who use these saddles might agree with me here. I'm thinking I need to stick with SMP's wider saddles as I have fairly wide sit bones and these two look to be some of the wider offerings that Selle SMP has.

I'm definitely open to suggestions here, but I'm pretty sure that Selle SMP is the route I want to go from here on out due to the dramatic reduction in perennial pressure that I've experienced so far with the TRK. I like it a decent bit, but I'm wondering if I might benefit more from one of Selle SMP's other saddles.
