I have a Brooks England B17 on my Salsa Mukluk. I have been riding Brooks saddles for ever or it seems that way. In terms of them getting wet wet they don't like it. Despite the "your backside is on the saddle" so you don't need to worry about suggestions I have managed to ruin one after riding about eight hours in solid rain. So something to be aware of at least. They do have a rain cover but reports suggest it is nothing fantastic.

On my new roadie I have gone with a Selle Anatomica X2 saddle. Really impressed with it so far and their follow up customer service [email after three weeks with guidance on tensioning, treating the saddle etc]. Assuming my experience continues to be positive I doubt I would go back to a Brooks and may well change my existing saddles over. If you decided to try a Selle Anatomica saddle there is a discount code in play at the moment I think, WINTER10 offering you 10% off.
