I was having the hardest time trying to find a saddle that worked for me the last time I needed to replace it, and I was buying different saddles from many different companies. Well obviously each of these companies' saddles were not all comparable, from the padding to the shape to almost everything, and nothing was working for me. When I tried Fabric, I first tried the Flat profile, and I hated it. So then I tried Shallow, and it turned out to be perfect for me. So, give Fabric a try, read the info on their site on what profile is suited for your riding style, and start there. If you don't like it, try going with a different profile, and hopefully you find one that works for you.
