Thanks for the recommendation, Liz! Unfortunately I’m going to have to agree with Jim. I’ve used microfiber saddles in the past and I’m not able to slid around on them enough for my liking.
For what it’s worth, my solution to the saddle theft problem thus far has worked well enough. I use a RandyJo waxed canvas cover that’s very very worn in and makes the saddle look much less attractive. But there’s always that fear in the back of my mind regardless.
