The saddle looks good and is really comfortable, but a major shortcoming is that it has this side seams, penetrating through the water into the interior and is again pressed the top seats through the interface to the outside. The result is that the pants are soaking wet. I do now before riding always a waterproof saddle protective over it (if I ever let him out, he will unfortunately stolen ...) that works properly, but it's still awkward, so I would not buy this saddle a second time.
