Terry saddles??

[Brandi]

I have the Damselfly. I love it. It is much narrower and slightly firmer than the butterfly. I couldn't do the butterfly, it was to big on me.

I have it both on my mtn bike and road bike.

Same here! Actually a te member GAVE it to me. We got to meet a couple years later and i am still on the same seat. I guess I should ride more or I just don't know it is worn out.hmmm?

Well everybody is different, and I'm sure you'll find just as many supporters of any brand saddle that you write about on here.

However, if you are going to get a new saddle, I'd do it well before your 2week tour so you can get a few hundred miles on it to be sure it''s the right one for you. Day 1 of a tour is NOT the time to be trying out a new saddle.

Have fun,

I like the Butterfly a lot and have ridden several centuries on it and a nine-day, 565-mile cross-state tour without serious problems other than some chafing in the crease of my inner thigh. It's probably a little too wide for me, but it's comfy.

The Damselfly was like a medieval torture device to me -- hard as a rock, with a tiny little pinchy cutout. OUCH!

So, don't be under the impression that a "Terry" is a "Terry" is a "Terry". Within the Terry line, there are saddles of all shapes, widths, firmness, etc. A lot of women like the men's Terry saddles more than the women's. I'd love to try a Terry Fly (men's version of the Butterfly) but never have.

I have a Selle San Marco Atola on my mtb, and although it's skinny like the Damselfly and almost as hard, the cutout is larger and diamond-shaped, so I find it incredibly comfy once my sit bones toughen up on it.

It is very hard to give anyone else a saddle recommendation -- what is one woman's torture device is another's perfect match.

Good luck!

With Terry's 30-day saddle return policy, you cannot go wrong. Both my finacee and I have tried multiple Terry saddles before settlling on the 'perfect' one.
