Is Jett The ONE After All?

[Norse]

One note about the sizing on the Jett: my sit bones fell in between so the LBS recommended the smaller size 143. I tried this but felt like my sit bones were sitting on the edge, not the saddle, so I got the 155 instead and this is what I am using.

Hubby is bringing me home a Jett 155 today! I'm hopeful! He got me the white/pink version. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I rode on a Jett for a year and while I loved that it never hurt me up front, I also had problems with it really hurting my sitbones on 50+ mile rides, even with good shorts. But, like you, after trying a bunch of other saddles it was still the closest to "the one" that I had found. This year, I switched to the Toupe (men's saddle, non-gel version) in the same width and my sitbones are much happier. Even though there's no padding on the Toupe, it seems to have more flex, was easier to break in, and is just overall more comfy for me.

So, if you end up feeling like the Jett is almost-but-not-quite right, the Toupe might be another option for you. I haven't tried the gel version, or the Ruby (women's version, also with gel) so I can't say whether those would be even better or worse.

I have a Jett on my mtn bike & haven't noticed any serious problems with it. THen again, when on the dirt i normally pay more attention to what's coming up on the trail & my body position rather than how the saddle feels.

I just wanted to say that I am so jealous of anyone who has found "the one." I am still on my quest, but at least you have given me another one to try!
