 So yesterday I got back from my Garden Route trip...

I did just over 3200kms in 9 days.   Which doesn't seem like much, but boy o boy was my rear-end sore when I got home.

By the time I got to Cape Town, I realised I needed to look at getting some added seat comfort.    So I bought a Saint Seat at a bikeshop in Bellville.

It worked okay for a while, but the last 300+ kms home I stopped just about every 80kms.  Man it was seriously no pleasure.

What Gel Seat / added padding do you guys have?

I'm still looking at getting myself an AirHawk Cushion.   But they're not cheap.   And are they truly worth the money?

I definitely want to do a trip like this again.   But I seriously need to do something about my seat thou.

Hi Richard,
I'm also in the same boat.
I searched for week then came across this place in Israel (https://www.ebay.com/itm/173057626714), ordered mine and waiting for delivery.
I also spoke to a guy in Australia who I saw have it on his bike and he says it works for about an hour's ride. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1814560972150056/permalink/2071534199786064/)
I'm then also looking for a sheepskin, which I saw some at Dischem, but they don't sell black ones. Apparently the AirHawk is also not that effective, some guys swear by it and others not - as with all things we buy.

Let me know what you decide on and please share :-)

I use the SHAD seat and the improvement is great!
You can buy it on eBay.
