I'm trying to get some info from a Specialized dealer here via email, so far no reply, so thought you ladies with experience with the Jett saddle might be able to supply more info. (Slack of them isn't it)....

Anyway, I've seen it mentioned in another thread before that the Avatar appears to be the same as the Jett. On the Specialized website, they mention gel inserts/padding on the specs describing the Avatar, but they don't mention gel in the specs re the Jett.

Also, with photoshop help, I overlayed the 'enlarged' piccy of both of these saddles from their website and found that the Avatar is _minimally_ different in shape in that the curve running from the nose towards the widest section of the rear, that curve is a _little_ straighter on the Jett.

So, differences in shape and being entirely almost non-existent, it looks like the only difference is this possibility of lack of gel in the Jett model as well as the Avatar being heavier. Would any of you ladies who have tried both models be able to confirm whether there is in fact any difference in gel inserts between the 2?

Also, I can't get any info from them on recommended sizing for my sit-bone measurement of approx. 130mm - (5 inches). Would anyone be willing to offer advice as to whether I should go for the 130mm, 143mm or 150mm? How much additional (if any) width should be added to allow for downward sloping sides which might mean your sit-bones missing the padded bits altogether?

Appreciate any advice...
