Brooks England Cambium C19, All-Weather, Waterproof Bike Saddle 184mm

I tried multiple different foam, gel, comfort, touring, vented and whatever else saddles and nothing was as comfortable as this Brooks Cambium. Note that I am a senior citizen, 6'-6" tall and weigh 250#. I actually tried both the Brooks Cambium C17 and C19 and while both were better than anything else I had tried, the C19 edged out the C17 for my old-man butt. (If you're a male under 50 and/or under 200 pounds, the C17 is probably the better touring saddle choice.) I really like the grip of the cambium surface, it's a lot like broken in leather -- not slippery, but doesn't hang onto you. Cambium as opposed to leather feels almost fully broken in from the start. All in all a great saddle. Expensive? Yes. A little heavy? Yes (but not so bad as most of the padded or gel seats). But the comfort outweighs both of those for my touring and around town needs.

I just completed a 350 mile 7 day trip with this saddle. Day 4 I adjusted the nose down a little bit. No more numbness. I forgot that I was riding a bicycle and sitting on a bicycle seat. I think that means that this works great for me. I purchased the C19 and love the additional rounded width. I would definitely purchase this again!

Replaced a very nice B17 with the C19 saddle on my carbon road bike. It feels broken in and the wider back portion is a better fit for my 6'1" sit bones. It's also quite good looking. I've another one on my Tern.

bought this for my winter bike, because i didn't want to subject a leather saddle to snow and slush but i still wanted a comfortable saddle to ride on.i got what i hoped for. it's quite comfortable to ride on --- not as great as a leather saddle, but not by a big difference at all, and more than comfortable enough that i have no complaints. the material shares leather's wonderful quality of adapting to your body temperature easily; even in sub-freezing weather it doesn't feel cold for long enough to be unpleasant. a pile of snow atop it just brushes off without sticking.full marks, and i'm convinced once again that every bicycle of mine shall have a Brooks.

This is my second Brooks seat first one was on a bike that was stolen they're not cheap but well worth the money

These saddles sure look cool, but in the end they don't offer the same value proposition as Brooks's leather options. Why? Because there's no real way to break it in. Moreover, the texture of the seat surface wears on clothes considerably more than the smooth surface of leather.Someday Brooks will invent a synthetic saddle that offers all the pros of leather, but this is not it.

I’ve put about 150 miles on the seat an I can’t seem to find anything I don’t like about it.. it’s comfy (considering you are on a bike lol) looks great an I stand by brooks products I’m 225lb 5’10’’ with a wide body the c19 is what i needed

Hands down the best saddle I've ever used (c-19) for a more upright position.It's got the classic Brook's hammock effect but more room to move around on than your traditional b-17.My issue with their leather saddles is that the rails are short (not a lot of fore to aft adjustment) and they generally have a very small, specific area in which the saddle is comfortable.This has all the benefits of a Brook's leather saddle without any of the drawbacks. I will be riding these until I die.
