I've got dodgy hips, and I find they do make a difference. I've only got the usual fake sheepskin ones, but the Heather Moffat seat saver is supposed to be very good, and fits most saddles
Hi I had a gel one, but the gel leaked out of the seems and all over the saddle & jods! So I swapped it for a new pair of jods! It was shires... Apart from that heard the heather M ones are good?
HM one is very good, I've had mine for about seven years now, I bought it for doing a ride that crosses Scotland. Its been great and I use it about 4 times a week. A good buy.
