@dancing james
have you ridden it whilst its wet?
that is the killer for them as they stretch lots under your weight when soaked
this is why people tend to have a thick layer of the proofhide underneath to stop spray getting to the saddle, the top tends to be covered by the rider (its also why people cover them when left outside to stop ingress of water from the top)
