Hello
Since more than a month, my Desert Sled has to stay outside on the parking at work, and, when it rains, I can see that some water comes out of the saddle when I ride the bike.
I suppose the saddle sewing is not waterproof or, worst, the saddle foam is not wrapped in a plastic cover...
I've removed the saddle cover to understand what's happening and the conclusion is : the sewing is not waterproof and the thin foam under the cover soaks with water and gives it back when I sit on the saddle. Good thing, the saddle foam is wrapped in a plastic cover.
Now, I can go to a saddle maker to buy a good saddle cover with waterproof sewing.
