Spiderflex REC Bike Seat

My wife's looking into a new saddle for her road bike to take care of soft tissue issues. Anyone have any knowledge or experience with the Spiderflex REC Bike Seat.

She's also looking at the Ism style saddle (although there is a lot of types):

or

MAX SLR GEL FLOW or MAX SLR GEL FLOW :

Best to sit on saddles to know by direct experience..


I have a couple Fizik Vitesse saddles .. , none of the above.. , nor a wife.

Perhaps it's because I bend at the lower lumbar , so my hips stay more upright ,

that I dont feel a need for the cutout holes.. even at 65.. (though the bars have moved upward.. )

Seems to be another take-off on the Easy Seat. https://bikeseats.org/easyseat-bicycle-seat.htm A little more costly though.

I don't have any of the saddles you're looking at but have had a Selle Italia in the past and it was very nice.

Those other saddles don't don't look right.

I'd be wary of anything without a nose on it on a road bike. She also might look at a Selle SMP saddle.
