I had a zero X about two years ago that I liked. It wore out very quickly, got flat and hard and the cutout narrowed. After many unsuccessful trials I ordered another one about a month ago, on sale. I got the one you are talking about, black with the checkerboard pattern. OMG! Totally different from the first, more padded, narrower cutout and YES stuck to it like glue. I put it on the trainer for about ten miles and although comfy, got numb and could not move around at all. Now you and I know why its on sale. The one I used before did smooth out but it was a more smooth fabric from the beginning with little circles on it. The new one went back to Terry. I am now using a Specialized Ruby and am so far very happy with it.

Thanks for responding. After I posted I checked on this site and others and found a number of posts that said that Terry saddles tend to not hold up very well. Thus far my silver Zero has, but I think I will be returning the new one.
It's so hard to find a comfortable and supportive saddle, I'm not looking forward to doing that search again... I will check out the Specialized Ruby.
