I have 2 of them, one has between 3,000-4,000 miles on it. They support my sit bones well, and the nose just disappears. I was having trouble with saddle sores because of the width of the nose of my old Terry Zero saddle, and the An Atomica completely cured that problem. My only complaint is that it can be slippery. With the wrong shorts, I feel like I'm going to slide right off the front. I sometimes will ride with slippery shorts anyway because I think it must be a good core workout, but it's pretty frustrating. Terry T shorts work well with it.

I've added tension to mine maybe 4 times over the past year, less than I'd like to because I'm trying to make it last longer. I can see that it will continue to stretch, so it probably has a life of a couple of years for me (maybe it will last to 10,000 miles, which I'd be happy with). When the tension bolt is at its end, I'll be replacing it with the same exact model. It's comfortable, well made, and I like the style.
