FAQ -- Brooks Saddle

First of all, the cool kids in San Francisco call them 'saddles,' not 'seats'. Get with it! Just kidding. OK, so why is a leather seat / saddle more comfortable than a nice soft gel seat? First of all, leather is a natural material that breathes and molds to the shape of your body. Remember your little league baseball glove? How it broke in to your hand? It's kind of like that with the Brooks Saddle, but you don't have to stuff it in the freezer wrapped in chicken fat. The Brooks takes only a few rides before it conforms to your body.

Yes, but protect it with a plastic bag before it gets soaked.
