The Patron’s black perforated leather cover shields our new wide-backed Ithys shell, and features Relief Zone™ in the saddle nose for increased comfort, especially on longer rides.
If your willing to spend the money, its a great seat. Not to good for downhill, but just all around riding, trails would be good to, good street seat.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
This saddle was recommended to me by a couple of friends, and overall it's a real nice saddle, but the one drawback was enough to send me back to my old standby the SDG Grand Prix. My problem, and it really wasn't much of a problem, is that for me the nose of the saddle didn't have enough padding. Around here most rides start with a good 10 - 12 miles of climbing so I generally spend a lot of time perched on the nose of the saddle, and for that, it just wasn't as comfortable as my SDG. Otherwise it was a very comfortable saddle, definitely well made and priced very well, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a very lightweight but comfortable saddle.
