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.
