I'm looking at a Brooks Flyer saddle as a potential Brooks saddle for my fatbike but have some reservations as it is likely to get wet and may become unusable quickly.

I cannot get comfortable with the stock WTB Silverado or a Specialized Phenom Expert on my fattie so have broadened my search to much wider saddles designed for a more upright cycling position.

I've used a B-17 with rear fender and large saddle bag on my Pugsley, never had any issues. Recently, I ended up with a C-17 and opted to use that on my Pug... but I'd have no issues going back to leather (with fender and saddle bag to protect the saddle from spray).
