How comfortable is this saddle? I do 2-3 hour trail rides.

I personally think it's a great trail saddle. It's suede seat is padded and is pretty comfy. I could see myself sit in it for 2-3 hours. Hope that helps!

I've only tested this saddle on 1.5 hour trail rides for the moment and I find it really comfortable. I've had a big ranch leather saddle before this one and I needed a wollen seat cover. No longer, and I'm really happy with it. 'Hope I helped you.

The saddle is comfortable but you should get stirrup rotators. The stirrups do not turn easily and cause legs to be uncomfortable. I hope that this helps.

I did not buy mine on line so it may very. When I had my horses I would stay on them for 6 to 8 hours. I have R.A. I could not feel the impack when my horse went to a gallop. You have to make sure that you have the right pad and cinch for horse and the saddle in the right area on the horse. The saddle does give a little for horse comfort but don't over cinch or pinch the nerve. Allow for breathing room. I have worked and study in and as Animal Control person. I do care for the animals well being. Happy Trails TO YOU!

Padding isn't terrible but not fantastic either. B/c of the saddle shape it does cause a sore butt for a week or so. It's great now with no aches or pains. I'm 5'8" 128 with boney behind. Love the chair for the price. Their are higher end saddle chairs that have A+ padding but they are $500.00+.

I find the seat quite comfortable w/o anything added. Think of a very firm hammock, if that helps.

This is an excellent long distance, multi day saddle. Allowing for the standard "it hurts at 60 miles everyday no matter what" circumstances of any long trip, this was a great saddle for our 6 day DC to Pittsburgh C&O; and Great Allegheny Passage tour last year. Its next long use will be a 300 mile trip from Pittsbugh to Cumberland, MD and back later this month. My son's friend who's been training on it loves it. His longest training ride has been 45 miles with no problem. Paired with a good pair of cycling shorts you can't go wrong.

Yes it has been very comfortable. I've had it about 3 months and ride about 3 times a week and I don't have any complaints

In spite of the great reviews on it, this seat has more padding, but not so much more that I am totally comfortable on my bike. It does feel more comfortable than the original one that felt like steel on my backside; however, please note that I weigh 105 lbs and my bike rides do not last longer than 30 minutes which are two factors that may affect one's comfort level. I hope this helps.

It's like a soft but sturdy gel type. I really like the seat. It's probably the best seat I have tried out. No more tail bone pain after a 45 minute ride.

Yes, it is very comfortable, but remember it will also raise you up an inch or two from the ground. I found myself straining to touch ground when I come to stop. Other than that I really like this seat for it's comfort. Good rideing

My daughter and I both have this seat. Neither one of us have had any tailbone discomfort when riding. This is a great seat! I would buy it again.

Like any bike, you'll get used to the seat, I've had no problems riding mine for 30-60 minutes at a time and I weight over 300.. If that's not a solution for you, look up some gel seats.

I weigh 200 lbs, it supports me just great no sign of sage/weakness. The comfort of the seat is about a 6 on a scale of 10, where 10 would be the best. It's going to be hard to find a saddle for a man to set on without putting your package to sleep where you contact the seat... It is better than any seat I have bought so far and that is 4 seats. There is only one more that may work great, that one is square like, without the tongue going up between your legs, your butt cheeks are the only thing that sets on that seat. Good luck.

i did purchase a gel cover the one recommeded for this seat. It is a little more comforting for the longer rides. Just remember it is not a couch. It is a work out peice that unless you buy a saddle will not totally be comfortable.

The saddle seat is very comfortable. Happy with my purchase and the stool is very sturdy.

My wife is 5'3" and rides with comfort. I'm sure someone who is only 2" shorter will find it to adjust to them also

that is the beauty of this saddle..it takes only a moment or 2 to remove..just make sure you have saved any pins or original hardware

It is fairly comfortable as is but you can definitely feel it. I have not been on a bike in years but it is bearable.I am considering a gel cover but have not really found one as yet.

I'm NOT thin and have plenty of padding!!! Lol but the seat is very comfortable. There is not much of a hump to go in between your legs so it positions you a little differently than other saddle seats. It is adjustable so you can tilt your pelvis forward or back toward your spine for your comfort. I'm a hairstylist and I used another saddle seat for quite sometime and this seat is way more comfortable. Btw, my husband purchased this for me and I'm answering on his amazon account (Sharon)
