Very Good Saddle

Rating:****
I tried this saddle, along with the equally good ATH version after a long lay off from cycling. I used to ride long and hard, and would scoff at a seat such as this in the past. Riding was no longer fun, more like an obsession. I changed however. No more racing.... lycra shorts.... clipless pedals.....hard,narrow seats and the general race to know-where. I now ride in whatever and wear my favorite sneakers.... any kind will do..... and BMX style pedals.

My racing brain told me it's just too soft..... but I ignored that and tried it anyways. It wasn't too soft at all... call it a firm soft. The width.... oh yes ..... I tried both this and the ATH version and they are both very supportive. Despite the different width's, I like them both equally.

I now ride in a more modest 45 degree angle with some Nitto Albatross bars instead of drops, and these seats are perfect for that. I can now see what I've been missing all those years, and enjoying the view. These seats certainly help as they are supportive yet soft and they do not require cycling sorts of any kind..... the way I rode as a teenager many years ago..... when I cared less about how long I rode and more about just riding because it was fun to explore on a bike.

Seats are highly subjective, so don't take this or any review too seriously. Try it for yourself.

Great saddle for fitness bike

Rating:****
This saddle is designed for those who ride hybrids with a more upright posture. I replaced a WTB Laser V Comp saddle with the Lookin MOD on a Giant FCR3. Just getting back into biking, I'm doing about 50 miles a week right now mostly on the road and paved/gravel trails. The original saddle was just too hard--I was getting a lot of discomfort. I first replaced the original with a Unity "comfort" saddle on a suspension seatpost, but the nose was just too wide, and it resulted in chafing.

I finally replaced the comfort saddle with the Lookin MOD and it made a HUGE difference. The first few rides with the Laser saddle resulted in a pretty good amount of pain. Doing 10 times as much riding on the Lookin MOD resulted in no pain. Highly recommended.

Comfortable Seat

Rating:****
Just getting started with cycling again after several years. Seat comfort was one of my top priorities for a bike. I tried a WTB Laser first--good on weight but not on comfort. Then I went too far in the other direction with a Unity comfort seat.

The Lookin seat gives me the right balance that I was looking for. It made a huge difference in comfort, and I now have no problems on long rides.

Good Saddle

Rating:****
I bought this saddle to replace the stock saddle on my Novara. It's a good saddle and my bike was stolen 3 months after I bought it so I was not able to see how durable this saddle is in the long run.
