I like Selle Italia Sport Gel Flow on my drop bar touring bike (Croix de fer)
Other saddles I have tried:
Charge spoon: fine for round town, not so great long distance
Brooks C15: Too narrow
Brooks c17: nice width, pretty comfy, but lacks padding
Fabric Scoop: fine for around town, not so great long distance.I don't ride with padded shorts.

Is there a thread in this bit on touring saddles? I've done a search but couldn't find one. I'm definitely in the market for one after the standard saddle that came with the bike didn't cut much except my perineum.
What's the consensus here? I know all arses are different, etc., but have any of you tried 'comfy' saddles/extra soft/extra padding and, if so, did they make a difference. I was doing no more than 30 miles a day and, over rougher roads and bumpier tracks, my saddle was literally a pain in the arse.
Cheers.
