Strengths:    COMFORT!
styling.
long life.
bag loops on rear of saddle.


Weaknesses:    Weight (500+ grams). The main weight problem on my bike, however, is the rider.

Bottom Line:   
I bought this saddle because of the great results I had with another Brooks product, the Conquest Flyer. It was comfortable right from the start and only got more so as the miles accumulated. A leather saddle comforms to the rider's anatomy, not the other way around, as with many others. I find that I get less chafing because the leather breaths and helps wick away moisture. I've had no problems with rain, using the recommended Proofide as a dressing. Check out any long distance rider's bike, there's a good chance it will have a Brooks saddle. There's a reason for that!
