I have been a cyclist since the mid 70's, and the time the I ended up with sore sit bones was the time that I was tandeming and spent way too much time in the seat, and not enough off of it. A different seat honestly would have not made any difference. It was simpily operator error. In other words get off your butt. I used to live in Tucson, and used to ride Mt Lemon all of the time. For that climb I learned to count my pedal revolutions, and at regular intervals, I spend time out of the saddle.
