Has anyone ever used a Bontrager saddle?

In this small town, one shop has one product and another shop has something else. So I feel like I am putting one shop against another to find
what I want.

Thankyou for your input on this.

Just out of curiosity, how were you fit on the bike? Was it a comprehensive dynamic fit? Very often saddle pains can be caused by improper adjustment. Many saddles not only go up and down on the seat post but can also tilt nose up / nose down / slide forwards / backwards. Getting the saddle tweaked into just the right position can make all the difference in the world.

Saddles are such personal pieces of equipment, it's impossible for anyone to recommend something for someone else. You really just have to keep trying until you find one that works. Many people find that a saddle works great for 20-30 min, but stretch it out to two hours and they're in tears.

After checking fit, I'd keep trying different models until you find the one that's just right. I know it's a pain to keep bringing things back, but if you're serious about riding distances you want to be as comfortable as possible. A good, well fitting saddle is crucial in that quest.
