Comments about Selle Italia SLR Gel Flow Saddle - Men's:

These may not look comfortable, but they are fantastic! I've got about 6 or 7 of them on my bikes - every new bike gets one - and they are wonderful. Long rides, short rides, cruising around the park or riding to work - it doesn't matter, this is a comfortable, light saddle!

Comments about Selle Italia SLR Gel Flow Saddle - Men's:

A great saddle for my track build up. Definitely a bummer that REI doesn't carry the colors, because the yellow one that I've got is rather sharp... blue isn't bad either. Super comfy, which is surprising. Weighing 190+ lbs I figured it would feel like a stick up my rear... I was wrong.

Comments about Selle Italia SLR Gel Flow Saddle - Men's:

As a rider that does over 5,000 miles a year, I know a little about saddles. This one looks great but its like sitting on a brick. I get sore after about twenty miles and have blisters after 40.

Comments about Selle Italia SLR Gel Flow Saddle - Men's:

I was excited to receive this seat. Upon examination, it was obviously high-end quality. I tried it out and loved the design, i.e., great clearance, no chafing. Unfortunately, the relatively light gel padding left my rear-end sore after the first few rides. I typically ride 15-20 casual miles without padded shorts, so maybe that is my problem. I might purchase a pair and see if that makes a difference. However, part of me doesn't want to have to spend more just to get a comfortable seat.

So, great design, but a relatively hard seat for the price. Again, maybe padded shorts are the answer.

Comments about Selle Italia SLR Gel Flow Saddle - Men's:

I use this everyday for an aggressive 25 mi ride. Took a week to get used to it, but now I love. Not heavily padded, but fantastic at keeping the weight comfortably placed on the pelvic bones. It doesn't put any pressure on the sensitive tissue and as a result I am comfortable on this saddle indefinitely. If you don't need a ton of padding, want to keep it light, stiff (as in not springy up and down), and comfortable: this is the best saddle a guy can buy.
