Saddle for riding without chamois

[coreyaugustus]

Polling the Paceline audience here. I'm a fan of the Fizik Arione 00 when I've got the bibs on, but it's a bit hard on my rear when I'm just riding to/fro the gym or around town.

What saddle do you prefer when you're riding without bibs?

Brooks B-17.

I’m with Ken although the Team Pro is my favorite flavor.

my coffee/errand bike has a WTB mtb saddle on it that has some more padding than my typical road saddles and a pressure relief channel. i like it a lot for riding in street clothes.

get a fabric scoop. They are cheap and work well with and without chamois.

Yup I have to add it's a Brooks B17 imperial with cut out for me.

In addition to my B-17 I'm surprisingly comfy on an Arione and also a WTB mtn. bike saddle that came on my 2001 Marin Rift Zone. I liked it so well I bought another for one of my road bikes. When I sold that bike the buyer had me swap for another saddle from my collection so I still have and extra WTB saddle.

I love my cambium c17 without bibs.

I find this all person preference. I ride selle italia flites on all my bikes, and have done centuries on them without chamois. Just try and find what works for you.

I like the sella anatomica myself.

Berthoud, Brooks or Rivet saddles are my go to with or without a chamois. I ride the soulor/galibier and I have a brooks swallow and rivet independence and they all do a fine job.

Selle Anatomica FTW, with B-17 in second place.
