 Hobson Original Easy Seat really is comfortable August 31, 2008
Berta
It took about 12 adjustments with this quite unusually designed seat to get it to work for me. I also had to raise the handlebars and change the seat height. But now that it is set, I like it. It offers a much more comfortable ride. A little more padding might make it better and I believe that the newer Easy Seat II is more padded. It seems as if all bike seats should have this design. Makes much more sense.
 Wear a jock! August 29, 2008
Kenneth Redding (Mpls, Mn. USA)
I did not like this saddle. I couldn't find a way to be comfortable when riding with this seat. Also, better wear a jock. When you go over bumps it feels like they might fall off!

Fantastic Bike Seat August 25, 2008
Captain Faris
The people who don't like this seat probably didn't adjust it properly.
I'm 56 and ride a mountain bike on paved trails intermittently for 25 mile bursts of exercise and have done so for years. I always have pain due to pressure points and to friction on my thighs. UNTIL NOW!
I just got an original Easyseat and spent some time adjusting it to remove the pressures noted by some other riders. I now like it tilted quite a bit forward and high, which leaves my legs extended properly on the full downstroke and places my body "balanced" on the seat rather than "sitting" upright.
The seat is unusual in that it feels as if I am not anchored very firmly. But this was easy to get used to because I am not a (favorite perjoritive term) who rejects good ideas just because they are weird.
I then rode 30 miles and totally exhausted my legs, which hadn't ridden a bike in 4 months. (I moved states, sold my old bike and have been running instead.)
I had NO PAIN and NO AFTEREffects! It felt as if I had not even been on a bike ride. I returned after 2 1/2 hours riding in 85 deg. morning sun in Spokane and immediately went on an hour long power-walk with my wife.
I expect that different people will prefer different versions of the Easyseat. Version 2 supposedly favors a more upright posture. The even newer "horned" split seat by Hobson probably gives the best of both worlds, although I prefer no rubbing on the thighs and don't want to wear bike shorts.
I recommend the original, but riders should expect to try out many adjustments and to "get used to it".

 Don't waste your money!! May 28, 2008
J. Brady (Falls Church, VA United States)
I am a 120lb female and I purchased this seat for my Trek bike. It was easy to put on, but this seat requires some major adjusting! I mean both physical adjusting and mental adjusting. For one, there is no central horn on ths seat so if you are used to relying on that to help you keep your balance (especially when pedaling in the standing position) forget it, you have to figure out a new way. The two pads can be adjusted independantly of each other, either forward or back. The more forward they are, the farther they tilt up in front, and the more back they are the more they tilt down in front. They can also be adjusted somewhat to vary the space in between them, which I thought was a nice feature. Once they are adjusted, the seats still move slightly so I find myself constantly adjusting my position on the seat while riding. Also, the pads themselves are very very hard. I came back from an 8-mile ride on a packed gravel road with bruises on my butt where my pelvic bones were under constant pressure and banged on, due to the lack of suspension in this seat. I also had to readjust the seat twice during my ride because it just became too painful. But it seemed like no matter what I did, the pads just couldn't be made more comfortable. When I got home, my husband noticed red areas on my fanny which by the next day were ugly bruises. This seat is useless to me as it causes great pain. I wouldn't recommend that anyone who rides more than a mile or two waste their money on this seat.
