    REI Members get back an estimated $ 5.40 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    • NOW PLAYING

    The anatomically-shaped Respiro Moderate saddle combines gel technology and a shock-absorbent base for a comfortable ride.

    • This recreational saddle is perfect for those who ride more than 100 miles a month
    • Gel padding reduces the peaks of pressure on the saddle and distributes the rider's weight across its surface, relieving the sit bones
    • Ventilation channel helps keep you cool
    • Saddle cover reflects the sun instead of absorbing its heat, thus promoting cool comfort
    • Integrated Clip System (I.C.S.) in the base of the saddle allows quick attachment and removal of I.C.S. accessories, such as bags and safety lights

    Imported.

        Tilts forward too much

          Comments about Respiro Moderate Bike Saddle - Men's:

          It looked really comfortable on REI and has good reviews, but it tilts down too much in the front. I ended up sitting on the very tip of the seat, which was not comfortable. When I forced myself to sit back it was unnatural and didn't feel right. My bike (Trek FX 7.5) does not have an adjustment to allow me to tilt it back.

          I will try to attach pictures: one of the Respiro Moderate Mens and one of my old (soft as a block of wood) Trek bike seat for tilt comparison.

            Comments about Respiro Moderate Bike Saddle - Men's:

            I ride about 1000-1500 miles a year, mostly on rail trails and paved bike paths. I'm 50yrs old and have to sit fairly upright. This saddle is by far the best saddle for me that I have ever owned with no exceptions!! My longest rides are about 50mi and last 4-5hrs, NO BUTT DISCOMFORT period.I just ordered a second one for my mtb bike so I don't have to switch it back and forth. At last I stop the everlasting search for the perfect saddle!

              Comments about Respiro Moderate Bike Saddle - Men's:

              I use this on my mountain bike. This saddle absorbs shocks very nicely. If I stay in the seat and go over something I should have stood for, I just bounce around on the saddle a bit with no discomfort. I spend a good amount of time in and out of the saddle, so I don't really notice much energy loss when pedaling. Sometimes the saddle seems a bit wide when trying to stand quickly and move about the bike while riding, but not too much. I might try the athletic fit next time around.

              Comments about Respiro Moderate Bike Saddle - Men's:

              Used this saddle to replace the factory Giant saddle on a Cypress Hybrid. While the factory was nice for short rides, it made my legs go numb past the 15 mile mark. This new saddle is great, comfortable and no numbness in my legs. Just enough padding to keep it low profile but still easy on the bottom. Also love that it's not made in China.

                It tilted forward, you ended up seating at the end point of the saddle. It is very uncomfortable and unnatural.

                  This was marketed on the website as a saddle for commuters and cruisers, but it is really the same exact size as any mountain bike saddle, so it isn't really for upright cruising, but it will do until I get a wide seat cruiser saddle to my liking.
