great for cloth and price:
Absolutely great once I got it adjusted properly. I ride about 10 miles commuting every day of the week. It's cloth so it absorbs water in the rain. But that's really my own complaint. It's quite comfortable and very good for my back once I figure out where I needed it to be. For the price(!) I would highly recommend it... Very good value.
Over Rated:
OK...it's better than a lot out there on the market. But, it still doesn't stack up to what I usually install on the older road bikes I refurbish & sell. What I usually buy is an Avenir Groove Dual Saddle. I bought one of these at my local K-Mart to save a couple of bucks. I wish I would've spent the few extra bucks for the Avenir Saddle. Bottom line...it's OK, but not great.Avenir Groove Dual Saddle (Black/Grey, Groove Dual (M)) Avenir Groove Dual Saddle (Black/Grey, Groove Dual (W))
Nice seat, but I still got a little sore.:

Comfort and economy - a great combination!:
pros: comfortable, standard installation, easy to adjust, inexpensive
cons: This seat is super comfortable. I had a chance to take a trip on a very uncomfortable saddle recently and have come to appreciate my Schwinn saddle even more. I've used it almost daily for my 8 mile (x2) commute since I started biking 3 months ago. I just took it on my first real ride - 33 miles. Toward the end I was experiencing numbness which may have been avoided by moving the front of the saddle down a bit but overall... more info
