Aha. Just googled Selle Antatomica Laminate and understand where Garth thought we were referring to leather. This Brooks is a different product. On Thursday, April 18, 2013 3:12:38 PM UTC-5, Matthew J wrote: > > I don't think anyone is associating the new saddle with leather. Rather > the poi

I don't think anyone is associating the new saddle with leather. Rather the point is the big deal about the saddle is that it has no leather, not that this fact somehow makes it more weather proof than leather. On Thursday, April 18, 2013 2:28:31 PM UTC-5, Garth wrote: > > > It's Not leather ev

I think the waterproof angle is pushback against the impression amongst many cyclists that owning a leather Brooks saddle is an issue in inclement weather. Which is hilarious in light of the fact the product originates in * England.* I suspect they are equally bewildered by this marketing problem

There also seems to be a strong interest in why we are not buying their bags and what we'd pay for them. I see from their new lineup they are offering panniers made by Ortlieb. Yes they are. very nice as well. The material is different than anything from Ortlieb though. Lighter and IMO more

I looked at the tester registration and it seems to me they are offering the unlikely prospect of getting a saddle in return for a lot of my personal data -- name, address, email, weight, etc. And I have to write a testimonial that I expect they'll use for marketing purposes. They also didn't

I was successful in registering. I missed a few radio buttons but discovered my error. They said they will send a confirmation email to validate my email. I hope I'm selected. I've been wanting to try a Brooks saddle but alas funds are short for such a purpose. On Wednesday, April 17, 2013 1:
