mesh saddle
Hey there,
Anyone know about this saddle?
It's just mesh, apparently, and so is super nice. Like a floating on a cloud. Is this true, or what? Also, does it do anything to prevent numbness and whatnot?

Thank you

I don't trust a saddle over $20.

My uncle was looking at those as his new saddle.
When we asked the guy at the lbs what he thought of the saddle his exact words were:
"Well, it's been sold five times. It's also been returned 5 times."
My uncle got a Koobi Au Enduro instead and he has been happy with it. I recommend the Fizik Arione myself...

The guy at the lbs said the main problem people had was that the plastic frame has sharp edges. When riding it gave them major chafing and thats definately not fun

$16 including return shipping!! That's pretty cheap.
It makes any other method not worth the trouble.
