Comfort Rating 8.5
This saddle is incredibly comfortable, but I think that the inevitable is beginning to happen. The saddle is completely broken in, but is beginning to dimple pretty good, under the sit bones. The center area is starting to protrude upwards. As it does that, I find myself hitching myself back on the saddle, trying to get away from the center pressure. If you do that for awhile, you end up right against the rear saddle rails, and that begins to chafe.
For right now, it is still very comfy, as it really hasn't begun to sag and dimple too heavily, but I can feel it beginning to happen. I've always said that the problem with the leather saddles, is the lack of support. The sides dimple under the sit bones, and the center raises, cut-out or not. Bada-boom, perineal pressure.
We'll see how it goes from here.
