In this saddle so it is not through the central channel. For me, from the first kilometer to a good sitting on the bike. It only buttock lying on the saddle (you get used to it pretty quickly), the saddle nose are the lead. I sit about 30 ° inclination on the bike and have the saddle nose minimally lowered, the saddle is mounted as far as possible on the support back. The saddle springs slightly in the upholstery and the offset to the rear and begins by shocks from the road surface, without that feels spongy. The seams do not interfere while sitting.
Langzeiterffahrung is not yet available.
In my estimation the saddle for people with high weight and / or very upright seating position is less suitable, good for moderate posture but.
A small drawback is that not all parallel double seams, which does not look so good up close from. Therefore, for reasons of appearance "only" 4 stars, for seating comfort and value otherwise 5 stars.
Update 10/11/2014
Today I had the distinct pleasure to sit on the saddle completely turned rained. Unfortunately, the saddle is not waterproof, between the black elite and the silver deposit and at the seams and on the back water enters and the plan set also quite cheerful again. Wet back is guaranteed. The saddle is therefore definitely not water proof, for "open skies Parker" permanently available only with saddle shell.
