Any good saddle on Amazon.com?

Just wondering, if there are any saddles on Amazon.com that you would recommend? Budget under $50. Cheaper the better.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_p_72_0?rh=n%3A3375251%2Cn%3A!3375301%2Cn%3A2232464011%2Ck%3Asaddle%2Cp_72%3A1248957011&bbn =2232464011&keywords=saddle&ie=UTF8&qid=1271789332&rnid=1248955011

I don't live in the US, but a friend of mine is and he is visiting me in Canada next mth! You get the picture.

Saddles are a very specific and personal choice based on different preferences and sit bone widths, etc. That said, the

Planet Bike Men's A.R.S. Anatomic Relief Bicycle Saddle ($24.99 - $44.99) and

Avenir Groove Lite Saddle (Black/Grey, Groove Lite (M)) ($19.99)

have pretty positive Amazon reviews at least. FWIW, I have the Avenir saddle on my wish list right now to replace the stock seat (too wide for my comfort these days) on my hybrid. At $20, if someone else buys it, it's not a huge loss to anyone if it's not perfect. Since I can't afford a nicer (e.g., Brooks) saddle right now, and so many of the other cheap options are "comfort" saddles that are 2 miles wide, stuffed to the gills with padding and gel and weigh 5 pounds, I think this one will do the trick... I know it's gotta be better than what I have on the top of my seatpost now at least.

Bike saddle is one of those thing you don't want cheap out too much on. Also, you can find pretty much anything on Amazon. A lot of bike specific vendors: Nashbar, Bike Somewhere, Niagara Cycle Works etc. sell through Amazon's affiliate program. I really like WTB saddles, I pretty much used them exclusively for many years on all my bikes. WTB Speed V Progel Saddle is pretty good and will fit your budget.

Those big padded saddles are bad for you. A little padding is all you need.
