It is a good idea to measure the sit-bone width before looking at saddles, to give one an idea of what may or may not fit. If the sit-bones are not supported, then the body weight is resting on soft girlie bits and that can be painful or numbing. Beyond that, it's about finding the right shape and padding. For me, that's minimal padding, a flat shape, no cutout and width at least 145. So I tried the Aspide Glamor and found it to be a good choice. While I am always looking for better (would like to try a carbon weave seat but they are all 130ish wide), I am not unhappy with the Aspide. I also tried the Jett but it was a torture device so I canned it. The Terry Butterfly felt ok for about 2 months till the padding softened a bit (too much padding) and there was no support.
