Has any one tried one of Bill Mayer Saddles :ERGO CONTOUR saddles ?
I like the Corbins myself but it could work for some people if they want a higher saddle for long trips.

Makes me wonder if I could slip one of those gel pads mentioned in another thread under the original seat cover and get a tiny bit more height and a lot less buttburn.

I love my Airhawk, besides the fact that it looks dorky strapped to my seat. I only use it on long trips, but it is so comfy I'd consider sticking it under my factory seat cover if I could.

Last week I saw a bike with a sheep skin on top of the Airhawk seat, it did not look too "dorky" .
I know what you mean with not looking great but just tell them that you have a very sensitive butt !

I don't care what my AirHawk looks like! I wouldn't ride any serious distance without it. So there.

And it takes 30 seconds to pull it off when you aren't riding 6-8 hours.

I wish I had tried an Air Hawk before dropping $600 on a custom saddle for my Vee, only to find the $90 Hawk worked better.
