Title: Great for Short to Medium Range Rides
Review: I owned this seat for about a year and a half and put over 7000 miles on it. The seat is comfortable, relatively light, and does not put pressure on the perineum. However, on longer rides (i.e. 100+) it caused a significant amount of friction on my thighs/rear due to the compression/expansion of the foam within the seat. While this was unnoticeable on shorter duration rides, it compounded on the longer ones and I was left with several saddle sores after a year of use.After a 300 mile ride over one weekend I ended up replacing the seat with a Brooks B17. So far, I've been saddle sore free and have never looked back.In short, this is a great seat for shorter conventional rides. But if you enjoy going on longer rides, you should probably invest in a Brooks. While more expensive, it's the best touring seat around and you will end up enjoying touring/randonneuring much more.
