Like others have said, it's all personal. It also depends on what you're riding in. My road bike saddle is much harder than my fixed gear saddles because I wear bike shorts/tights/whatever on it and usually just street clothes on my fixies. Most respectable shops will let you return saddles as long as they look new. Cover the rails with electrical tape and you should be able to get a good feel for the saddle before it shows wear.


Seriously! I have a Profile Designs on my tri bike and that thing is insanely comfortable. I've never tried it on any of my other bikes though. Riding position on a tri/tt bike is so different from what most people on this forum are rocking.
