Anyone got one and if so what are your thoughts. Just considering buying one but wondered what advantages/disadvantages people have had?

My instructer has one, and I had a go in it, all I can say it was amazing my position improved 10 fold and it felt very deep and secure.
It was very expensive though has she has had interchangable plates put in so can be adjusted. She swears by it .

I looked at one briefly before i got my wow. However, im not a fan of albions really, i dont find them particularly comfortable and we'd just had several made to measure on the yard that didnt really fit and just caused endless problems.
The adjustability appealed to me, but according to Albion you need a master saddler to make the adjustments which took away part of the point for me.
I prefered the wow.

My friend has one and I've ridden in it a few times. I found that it had quite a wide twist (which I don't particularly like) and that it was really, really heavy compared to other saddles - so not a massive fan. But she loves it.

I agree WOWs are fantastic providing you have a good WOW fitter available. They are a bit think on the ground in the North of England.
