    I LOVE mine. It is fairly firm, but I prefer that to super squishy. The t-shape worked better for me than my previous too-wide, pear-shaped saddle. YMMV.

    Um... everyone's different?

    If you just search on the name you'll find there are many who love theirs, many who hated theirs and got rid of them right away, and some like me who find it tolerable (and a big improvement from my previous saddle) but not ideal.

    It's too squishy. For me. It's not T-shaped enough. For me.

    For you.... it might be too firm and too T-shaped.

    Love my Jett 143

    I've had this saddle for about a year. It took quite a bit of research and trial/error to figure out that this was the best one for me. It's not ideal. I like it very much and have no chaffin issues, but wish it was a little more "T" shaped to take away the pressure on the inner-backside of my thigh (if that makes sense). I'm not sure that would do it, but it seems logical to me.

    The biggest thing for me is the width seems to fit. Other women's saddles are far too wide for me. The narrower one may even be better, but I haven't gone there yet. I had severe tail bone pain before I tried the Jett and now it's gone.

    Good luck.

    I had a hand-me-down Jett. It took a few weeks to make up my mind, although it was definitely better than the saddle that came on my Fuji. I decided it worked well for me, and recently bought a brand new one from a TE member.
