Luna gear is quite nice. However, if your local shop does not carry it…The Selle Italia Ladies Diva Gel Flow is the same saddle without the Luna branding

I’m a Brooks rider too, I’ve had 4 on three bikes (broke the rails on one, still trying to figure that one out). The thing with Brooks saddles is that it has to fit your sit bones. If it doesn’t the saddle will never feel good. Actually I think that’s true of any saddle. As a rule I never have to break them in I can just ride them. I put the last one on and went and did a century. But I do go slightly nose down.

Three Brooks, no regrets.

Some other makers of similar models have come out lately: Cardiff Saddles and Velo Orange, Sela-Anatomica. A bit cheaper, but the durability is unproven; Brooks has a reputation older than anyone living.

On the cheaper side (though what’s cheaper than a saddle that will last decades?), most people have their saddles set much too low.

Saddles do wear out. The padding and gel can start sagging and you’ll start feeling pressure in areas you’ve never felt before!

Normally women try various saddles till they find the right one. Some women are lucky and get it on the first try.

Do saddles wear out like your favorite chair, best pair of shoes, or your most supportive sports bra?

Does one try a new saddle or stay with the same brand?
