Best saddle I ever owned

Where is there a shop with one of them butt measure things? Are they pretty common?

That SMP was probably the worst saddle experience in my life. I gave it to old iron ass @Norm.

I have had zero issues with it. I also like the $30 one Ryan used a while back. I'm not a princess. Toss a sledgehammer on there.

First time for me seeing that. Had to look it up.

So you jumped in the said abyss I mentioned earlier; me too. They look like a nice design and sounds like Ergonomic did their homework.

Going from the SMP to the Ergon as very quick. First five-ten min felt a little odd (been exclusively on the glider for 5 years now) but after that it was like it's always been there.
 
I have 5 bikes with SMP gliders too. Works for me. Zero pain. Works. Looks wacky yes.

After a run in with prostatitis 10 years ago I was on the hunt for a saddle that put zero pressure on my prostate. This is still the best answer for that I have found. Many of the other brands now have cutouts very similar to the smp as well.

They look different for sure, but they certainly keep the blood flowing.

I've been running variations of the Flite for almost 25 years. I have them on all of my bikes from road to BMX to DH. My ass is formed to a Flite. Whenever I test-ride a bike without one, it hurts like hell after a few minutes and some saddles hurt instantly. The only saddle I would consider switching to would be a Brooks, but converting 4 or 5 bikes would be a considerable investment (although I probably wouldn't switch the DH bike).

FWIW, I am searching for a Flite "kevlar" (standard leather Flite with kevlar reinforcement on the rear sides) if anyone has one left over. I have one on my DH bike, but would like to get one for the enduro/trail bike as well. Selle Italia did another run of Flites a couple of years ago, but not the kevlar version.
 
I don't see any women weighing in here, so I thought I'd add my 2 cents.

I now have Fizik Vestas on each and every bike. I was like goldilocks with saddles for a while, until I found Vesta.

Bonus points : @Delish's grandma's name is Vesta.
 
A WTB Volt is the only saddle that I've found I can sit on comfortably. I've tried the entire 2014 line of Specialized last year with really poor results.

Anyone know of a saddle that feels similar to a WTB Volt? I want to try other saddles but damn does that get expensive QUICK!
