Looking for feedback (positive or negative)in regards to the M & W Trooper Saddle.

Thanks,

I've only sat in one and it was Ricks, just a couple of times, but my impression was very comfortable, constructed very well, with lots of d-rings for hooking up all your gear.

M & WE is the only one I have owned, it is a very nice and comfortable saddle.

Highly recommend one.

Brian -

I love the feel of the M & W...for the first thirty minutes or so. It slowly gets more and more uncomfortable for me. Sort of like my legs are the wishbones of a chicken and are slowly being pulled apart. After about and hour and a half it was really uncomfortable for me.


I also tried a Buena Vista saddle and it also started out quite comfortable but also went downhill very quickly.



I can, however ride my Tucker trooper which is apparently narrower, for hours at a time. I also have an old Crosby which seems to fit me pretty well also.

Not every saddle fits every bottom. You really need to try them out if you can.

My trial partner has been using one for about 4 years and loves it. They've always looked a bit odd to me, but that's personal opinion.

I'm riding on a Tarpin Hill Super Duty for the last two seasons, and am very satisfied, but delivery was way too slow. It did require about a month's riding to break in, as the padded seat rubbed me a bit. The seat is wider by an inch or so than the original troopers I've had (I still have 2 as well).

After break in its been great.
