Velmia Bicycle Saddle - Comfortable Saddle for Men and Women - 3 Zone Concept - Waterproof Bicycle Seat with Ergonomic Design

Up until this time I have been using gel seat covers. They worked well for me for years and I still would not write them off all together. But lately every gel cover splits on one side, and eventually becomes uncomfortable. The last gel cover I bought on Amazon, split after my first 1 hour ride. I was given a refund. That was the 3rd one of a brand that is highly rated on here. They are comfortable at first but eventually the gel splits, and even oozes out sometimes.Anyway, this memory foam seat surprised me, I think its wonderful so far. I have been using it for about 2 to 3 months. I was a bit nervous ditching the gel seat covers, but read some reviews on this seat, and other info on gel vs foam seats/seat covers. I figured at this point I got to try something different. The seat did feel different at first but after a while it felt rather good. I stopped thinking of my sore butt and I did not have to keep shifting around so much.The shape of the seat seems to work for me, it was pretty easy to install. I still might adjust the forward and back position and height, which all has to do with my knees, back and hip issues. I do have to say that my physical issues during cycling and afterward are much better using this seat. I have my bike on a trainer right now. I ride for about an hour or so 1 to 2 times a week. So far so good. I think this seat will work well for me once I get out on the road again when the weather gets a bit nicer.When the seat arrived I did have an issue with the packaging. The box was rather beat up and it was obviously opened before. I contacted the seller and they understood my dissatisfaction with the packaging. They gave me a partial refund. There was nothing wrong with the seat, it was in good condition.Also I am listed here as a Vine reviewer, I did get the Vine invite, but have not gone ahead with that yet. So this review is from my own purchase of the product.

Amazing buy. Have used for nearly 50 hours now, still very comfortable. I’ve used probably 10 different saddles in the past with some costing nearly $200, this is better than any I’ve tried thus far. I cycle for around 2 hours per session and am good for that entire time on this. Not so large that it restricts good pedaling movement.

Little small but it’s decent on comfort. Qaulity is good and easy to install though.

This is a very high quality saddle, well designed and made of durable materials. It is firm and provides plenty of cushioning. It is designed to minimize slippage while riding so I tend to stay where I want to be as I ride, instead of slipping forward as with other similar saddles. I have had it for only a few weeks so can't speak to its durability, but it appears to be made for the long term.

Easy to install and much more comfortable than the standard mountain bike seat.

It is a little too soft. I have a friend I ride with that has this same seat and loves it. After about 15 miles my A— is killing me. He has no problem with it. It’s a great seat for the price just does not work that great for me. If you want a padded seat this is great

I am training for a triathlon and since I don't own a real bicycle I am training exclusively for the bike race on my old Schwinn AirDyne, which means hours of riding on that wide seat. Since it wasn't going very well, I decided to upgrade the seat to this more comfortable model and it has been great. I even broke my longstanding mileage record for half an hour by a few tenths of a mile on my first ride.

Good replacement bike seat!! More comfortable than the original one!! Easy to install !! Now I can go on longer rides!!
