The Jett by Specialized

[Grog]

Anyway, I've seen it mentioned in another thread before that the Avatar appears to be the same as the Jett. On the Specialized website, they mention gel inserts/padding on the specs describing the Avatar, but they don't mention gel in the specs re the Jett.

My LBS told me the Alias is the "male" version of the Jett.

So, differences in shape and being entirely almost non-existent, it looks like the only difference is this possibility of lack of gel in the Jett model as well as the Avatar being heavier. Would any of you ladies who have tried both models be able to confirm whether there is in fact any difference in gel inserts between the 2?

I think there is gel in the Jett, but I'm not 100% certain. I have the saddle here and it is indeed cushier there. The packaging is at my other place though, so I can't read the specs.

Also, I can't get any info from them on recommended sizing for my sit-bone measurement of approx. 130mm - (5 inches). Would anyone be willing to offer advice as to whether I should go for the 130mm, 143mm or 150mm? How much additional (if any) width should be added to allow for downward sloping sides which might mean your sit-bones missing the padded bits altogether?

I would go for the 130 I think. I measured up at 127 or so and the store guy was pretty certain of the 130 mm choice. I really feel awkward on a wider saddle.
