The leather seems to be holding up pretty good.

You probably don't know how much water a saddle can absorb. It's probably more rain than sweat your butt can produce.

I love my B17 for 4 years now. Creaks alot but the comfort is truly worth it.

If it runs off the saddle and drips on the ground then I figure the saddle is absorbing all it will.

Water running off is not evidence it is saturated. It takes a while for it to absorb all it can.
