Yep, sounds about right. The first few times I kept thinking I would slip off , but I never did. I have had mine for maybe 3 weeks and it already has formed to my body and I love it. Very, very comfortable and soft (compared to when I first got it and thought it was quite hard). I have used proofhide twice. I bought the cover for it should I get caught out in the rain. All in all, I am thrilled with my B17S and hope you find a similar fondness for your saddle. Enjoy!
