awesome saddle, incredibly comfortable and light weight - I think something like
18-20 lbs. Most comfortable saddle I've ever had and I like the english
girth as you can buckle it a little and tighten it without having to do the
looping thing....they also have a demo program so you can try it without
commitment and I highly recommend the 'test drive'. I have bilateral
carpal tunnel and heaving a heavy saddle would do me in (also have knee problems
and have not had any soreness after LOTS of hours on the wild woman in this
saddle) and make my hands tingle/numb then at night came the electric shock that
wakes you from the dead, so lightweight is also an issue for me.
Good luck,
Suzi and Holly who also has a better attitude since she got her new
saddle.
I
am looking for feedback on bob marshall endurance saddles - pros and
cons. An accident last fall has left me with limited strength in my arms
and the light weight of the bob marshall makes them very appealing to
me. But while most of the input I have heard has been good, I have heard
enough negatives to make me hesitate. I have ridden in a demo saddle but
as they are quite different from a treed saddle I just wasn't sure if I would
still like it after a hard all day ride. I would appreciate any input
anyone can offer on them....or any other light weight saddle, well suited for
long hours on the trails that anyone would like to recommend.
Thanks! Penny
