Zero irritation and no adjustment time or break-in. In fact when my first SA arrived I installed it and took a short ride
in normal daily wear cotton shorts, total comfort. I then knew that with lycra chamois riding shorts this was the saddle for me. As mentioned I own 4 SA’s now one of which is on my wife’s bike a Trek 920. She loves the comfort of her SA saddle. SA gives very clear instructions on how to properly mount their saddles for proper figment. 30 day return if your not happy. Best of luck with your saddle search.
