Anyone got one? Any good? Always fancied a Brooks but put off by them not liking wet weather, so a water resistant one appeals...

If you use the search button you will find plenty on stuff on Brooks. They don't like wet weather
They take time to break in - say 600 miles
Then the are comfortable

But all of this has been said before - oh, and they are heavy

I have one of the new rubberised C17 saddles on my brompton. Seems ok, very hard at front and rear, soft in the middle (ooer). Not entirely convinced about its longevity though, have done about 200 miles on it so far.

FWIW, my B17 regularly gets wet and muddy and was comfortable from the very first ride.

Don't believe everything you've read about them.

Thanks, but it was the recently released Cambium rubberised saddles I'm interested in, about which there isn't much in the forum.

Has it started to wear already? If so, that would be a concern as they're not cheap...
