I have tried many over the years...For the past 5 years, i have only used this one as it uses some type of memory foam and is quite gentle on my rhuematoid arthritis settling into my hips...Its also wide enough for my wide butt...Also you will notice it is lacking a nut cracker...lol...i ride for hours with this seat with next to no discomfort...And its cheap too...lol...DAMIEN
