So it's not actually the sit bone area that is too wide but the angle at the back of your thigh? We were thinking that that angle looked better than most saddles we had seen lately. I really like a saddle with a sharp, almost 90 degree, angle there so it doesn't rub the back of my thighs.
I don't know what the silhouette of the Arrowhead is like compared to the others.

LOL - you know I think your right. The sitbones felt good and comfy but the rubbing aaaggghhhhhh. I tried feeling around the saddle with my hand while I was riding (must have looked funny to cars going by) and my sit bones seemed nicely supported and the soft tissue area was good. So angle is another thing you have to take into consideration - thanks for the tip SK.

Looking down at the sit bones part of the saddle from the top, the closer to this shape I can get the better. Does that make sense?

This is not so good. It hits the back of my thighs.

You really don't want to know. It can't be found any longer. I'm stockpiling it. I send slinkedog off on special acquisition missions. Whatever it takes.
I adore the women's Avocet Air 02 Air 40 ti rail. Wide, flat and firm under the sit bones. Very long and narrow nose. That almost right angle at the back of the thighs. A little divot where it counts.
