I have to acknowledge that I have good bike shorts (I like Pearl Izumi ultra and microsensor) and "going comando" made all the difference in the world.
Oh, yeah, it has been discussed a lot and generally not favorably, including by me. However, I love my Avocet saddle (not available now) and a bunch of people hate the thing. Just goes to show that there is no "best" saddle. You just have to find the saddle right for you.
