OK, sorry, it's not really about the divets, but the comfort. There's no real 'hammock' effect, the comfort is somewhere near my old standard saddle with a cut-out, but not quite there even, and I was expecting more comfort. I've used Proofide & some neatsfoot oil (per Sheldon Brown's rec.). Meh, maybe I'm being too picky, I just seem to remember someone saying that padded shorts hurt the break in.
