I've had both the Avatar Gel and the Jett. The Jett is supposedly the WSD versions of the Alias - slightly wider and deeper cutout is the only difference that the sales rep could figure out. I love both the Avatar and the Jett. The Avatar is certainly more comfy, but it's heavier. However, you might love it - I loved it for a year, but I'm trying the Jett to save some weight, and loving it so far (rode it for 5 of the 6 days of my tour last week - probably 350 miles on back to back days, and it was fine!)

The cause could also be the logo itself, which is indeed raised, but oh so slightly. I think I remember that it was the exact same on the Alias. These two saddles are really really similar, I'm not sure what's "women specific" about the Jett... (But I'll admit, under torture, that the white made my bike look happy and light.)

I'll check out the Avatar. However, I now admit to being reluctant to buy a Specialized saddle because I find the design a bit cheap for the price......

Thanks a lot Fujigirl!
