Jamie...if he is the cyclist he claims to be he should know that saddles are VERY personal!!!!***** Tho he may not realize the difference in womens saddles...you are going to get great advice and I am sure he will read it...so here is mine:

I love Terry!!! I have a butterfly (commuter), a Zero (roadie), and 2 Damselflies (mtn)....

Butterfly - great, cushy, comfy, wide enough w/o being too wide, best all around! too wide for my mtn cause I had issues getting off the back for steep, techy downhill. Eventually caused chaffing on long (70 + miles) road ride...just too much friction. But an awesome saddle.

Zero - love it...no complaints...fits perfect! Why not on my cummuter? I like the cush on short rides...the Zero is narrow and sleek...not so cushy.

Damselfly - it is hard...but wears in! Narrow...easy to get my tush off the back w/o my thighs getting in the way. Gets a little hard on the long fireroad climbs...but those are dull and annoying anyway.

A friend rides a WTB Diva...loves it!!!

The cutout in the saddle is important to alot of women (not all) so that may be something to look for!

My hubby LET me use his saddle for one of my bikes once...hahahahahhaha...I made it to the corner and back...never again!!! Your hubby should know by now that womens parts are different than man parts...so their saddles should be different as well!!!

Now go find a good comfy saddle and ride on....!!!!

*****my hubby sometimes chooses components for me that HE would like...he is learning that a 5' female is very different than a 6'2" male...this is after 3 years of riding together and 2 professional bike fits for me!!! It is a learned trait...patience for both partners!!!!
