I know there are going to be a lot of the women on the board who are going to disagree with me, but here goes anyway. I can't stand ANY of the women specific saddles. I prefer the mens, and the less padding the better. My favorite is the Selle Italia SLK (with gel), second to that is the Selle Italia Trans Am Max - not the women's version, they have one of those, too. When you look at the saddle it doesn't have much there, but that also means there is less to rub and chafe. I am a 44 y/o who rides between 4,000 -5,000 miles/year. I could never do a century on one of those women specific saddles. Maybe you are one of the oddballs like me who is built in a way that is more comfortable on a men's saddle. It's worth a try.
