Bis in die 1960er Jahre fuhren die meisten professionellen Peloton-Fahrer auf BROOKS Sätteln. Mit dem C17 All Weather zeigt BROOKS in höchster Qualität, dass hochwertige Materialien besten Komfort und Langlebigkeit garantieren. Vulkanisierter Naturkautschuk mit Nylon-Cover bezogen, folgt den Eigenschaften einer Hängematte und bietet hervorragende Flexibilität. Dabei erhält BROOKS in aller Konsequenz sein zeitloses Design bei. Eigenschaften: Gestell: Stahl / fiberglasverstärktes Nylon Länge: 283 mm Breite: 162 mm Höhe: 52 mm Gewicht: 415 g
This Brooks thing has no leather on itself. It uses natural ruber instead. It makes a non-slip surface (I really appreciate it on a mountain bike) but it is still comfortable. Of course, it might feel a bit stiff in begining but it improves during the time.
It is not exactly cheapt but for the price it offers comfort and quality (and it looks well, too).
The only thing which I don't like is the location of bag loops - they are moved to front (when compared with the traditional B17) which moved my bag too much to front for me. But most people probably does not use loops-attached saddle bags, I think.
Anyway, I replaced my older saddle (a gel-based one) with the C17 and it have been a huge improvement.
