Yes, be cautious. I got caught in a DOWNPOUR... crazy limited sight storm. Bagged it ASAP... but was too late. It rode like a hammock for the next 25 miles... sagging more and more. There was no support... and I only weigh 125lbs. It hardened back up... not QUITE back to original shape. Would've been fine, but I laced it to tighten it up, and prevent sagging if it gets a little wet again. In hindsight, I would've given up on the recreational ride if I'd known it was going to take a chance on ruining the saddle.
Oh yeah, mines a B17N... now laced, and trimmed a little.
As for riding in shorts... I get used to it... seems a little slippery at first... especially before it's broken in.
