When I was cycling 100+ miles per weekend, about 12 years ago, I found the comfort came in a combination of your rear, the saddle and the cycling shorts. The shorts ($80) I bought at REI, as they will take anything back if not a good fit, said their cycling expert. The brand I cannot recall, but I think the logo was a crown within a circle. My cycling shop recommended a $60 saddle, but the fellow said save the packaging and go for about 4 20+ mile rides and bring it back if it is not comfortable. It took a little time but with the help of REI and the cycle shop in Houston, I was riding comfortably. I searched a couple of websites, but cannot find what may be the brand of cycle shorts I used, though they did have the "gel pack" for comfort. Good luck and happy cycling.
Terry Liberator saddle, bike shorts, and chamois butter are helpful.
The surgeon that did my prostatectomy is also a cyclist and recommend a specialized power saddle (any version). I have not yet had a chance to do any serious riding, so the jury is still out.
