Exactly what proof would you need. To watch me and hundreds of other hammock saddle fans squirm while riding plastic saddles.
I've tried dozens of models over the years. For a while I thought the Fizik Ronin [sp?] was going to be the one. The padding wore down in less than a month. Surface had visible abrasion marks. My weight fluctuates around 160-165. I don't think I am necessarily hard on saddles. Bottom line most people pay big bucks for Brooks and Berthouds not for bling but because their bodies do not take to molded plastic saddles. I don't think this is a controversial statement at all.
