As an avid mountain biker, if you spend that much time in the saddle you are not doing it correctly ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
That said, they are one of those things you just need to experiment with. Like others I have had good luck with WTB and have pretty much run the same saddle for 20 years (well probably 5 or 6 of them in that time) I got lucky that the first bike I had had the saddle that fit me and I have stuck with it ever since. Contrary to what non bikers think, a lot of padding isn't really good for you. The WTB saddles have just enough padding IMO, but not enough to screw you up. A decent chamois and if needed talcum powder or some other lube helps, but I find I only need that when riding the trainer as I am seated a lot. AND..... a lot more seat time. Takes a while to get that tookus in shape!
