I'll soon find out after a reasonable amount of time on the Brooks. I've had the Selle type in the past and survived but if I recall correctly all that cushioning and material was hot. I'm inclined to believe there is no saddle that a rider gets off of and says "boy that feels good".. My thought is leather may be cooler then some synthetic and will gradually be more form fitting. Just saying.
