Ok my $.02, I bought one at xmas and have used it for a couple of weeks and I like it enough to keep it but would not say it's my go to saddle. It can be hot and bulky compared to my sequoias ( which I love ) but it is a very comfortable saddle. I have a few saddles and I like to mix it up, just me what I do is wear a saddle exclusively till broken in and adjusted finely and then I wear them according to the type of tree and what I am doing. Down here is super hot always but there are cooler days and rainy days, so that comes into play.
