Saddle company saddle reviews???

Please don't think i was getting at you, it was the comment about publicity saying it was untwistable. When actually no such thing is said by the saddle company.
And although i have never ridden in a memory foam saddle i most certianly wouldnt touch one after spending a fortune on an "all singing all dancing" MF bed. Which is like sleeping on a pile of breeze blocks! :)

No I didn't think that, not at all, don't worry;):). Just saying that I was happy with their customer service, in replacing their initial shoddy job :D
 
Hello again - thanks so much everyone for your help thus far in organising my new jump saddle - I'm nearly there and can't believe how much I want to go jumping now while I have no suitable saddle!

Please can you help with a couple of final decisions about Saddle Company model choice:

Cross Country or CC Jump - I've been thinking CC Jump because I've been told that a XC saddle is not designed to be comfy to sit in as you're supposed to be in light seat most of the time. I'm going to be hacking lots, SJ/Jump Cross weekly and XC occasionally. Also the XC has thigh panels and rolls which look nice and secure, whereas on the CC Jump I've heard from one person that you can have them added but my saddle fitter hasn't heard of that. If you put a thigh roll under the flap with no separate stitched panel for it, will it sit and wear as well?

Serge panels or leather - I don't go showing so don't need to ride without a saddle pad but my girl is very sensitive and i've been told that serge warms up quicker to her back and is kinder in that way. But I've never used it before so I'm unsure.

Vicenza or Genoa model - meaning: leather or synthetic under flap - I know the synthetic makes the saddle lighter and on my first saddle the first marks on it were the girth straps on the under flap, which I've heard doesn't happen with synthetic. BUT, will it last as long as leather, and will it be breathable so she doesn't get too hot under it?

It's such a major investment, I'm not taking it lightly!

Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.
