Measuring sit bones--is my yoga mat defective?

[alpinerabbit]

Trying to ride on this Jett saddle is killing my sit bones

There is no soft tissue pain but a lot of weight put on my sit bones, even with my most heavily padded shorts.

yeah but(t)....


that's where your weight is supposed to be. So the width will be alright, maybe wrong thickness of padding (watch out, more padding does not necessarily = more comfort); and maybe you just need to give your sitbones time to HTFU?

If all else fails, there are always SMP saddles. They cradle your entire pelvic bone ridge (don't know the exact anatomical term) from sit bones forward. I was just musing about mine and I find they give comfort because they offer more than one good angle to sit.
