Little has changed in the 150 years since the first Brooks saddle was released and that&';s because it hasn&';t had to. As easy on your bottom as they are easy to look at. The magic of leather saddles is that they softens over time, gradually forming to your shape as you ride. Use the same Brooks saddle for a few months and it&';ll 'break in&';, becoming unimaginably comfortable. This saddle is made in England.
