I'm considering a Brooks saddle and have two important questions:

1. How are these saddles on your under-parts? This is a problem on regular, non-cutout saddles and I'm wondering how it is that it doesn't seem to be a problem on the Brooks. This is pretty important as pain is not welcomed here.

2. Is it true that if you get your Brooks wet, it's dead? I don't plan on getting it wet but what do you do about the unanticipated rain shower or accidental spillage from the water bottle?
