Prologo saddles, any good?

Wappygixer

Wiggle have these on offer but its not a brand I'm familiar with.
Anyone had any dealings with these and if so how do you rate them,?

I think they're made by VELO (who also make Charge saddles and hundreds of other brands) so quality wise they're probably much of a muchness with your typical road saddle. As for specifics, I don't know.

Helpful am I not?

Never ridden one myself, but had a mate who had one on his Focus when we went to ride La Marmotte and he did nothing but moan about how uncomfortable it was. I don't think he had a point of reference against any other brand of saddle, just didn't like it.

Everyone is different though.

Hate to say it but you're asking a question that will never be answered, except by you.
I will say that I have never bought a major brand saddle that wasn't well put together.
Might have been uncomfortable but usually well made.

I thought they were getting pretty popular with the Pros now (although how much of that is sponsorship vs comfort is a grey area). Personally I wouldn't spend over £30 on a saddle I couldn't test ride first.

They srtike me as being expensive and sometimes a triumph of style over content. The ones with the removable cover seem to have a big problem - the cover is secured with press studs, one of which is right under the perineum - on visual inspection alone, I wouldn't want a 'hard spot' on the centre line of a saddle

I have one of these saddles and it is well made and althugh I have ridden up to 51/2hours on it I wouldn't say it is my favorite saddle. In fact only last week I took it off and put on an old selle italia slr and that was so much better for this weeks ride.

However, I do find that saddles need 'breaking in' and I shall probably put the Prologo one on my turbo bike for the winter and break it in that way.

But of course as has been said saddles are very personal and what suits one will not be good for another.

Prologo do a try befre you buy scheme . If you can find a local stockist ; check prologo website ; they should have a selection of BRIGHT green saddles that they will let you try before you buy . I have a Nago PAS on my good bike .

I have two bikes kitted out with Prologo Choice saddles. The bog standard saddle is hard a hell, but if you get the 12mm gel cover its very comfortable and because of the perforations it keeps your crotch a little cooler and less sweaty (well mine anyway). I wouldn't ride anything else in the summer.

There press studs are not an issue with me at all.

I have a Prologo Nago PAS Gel and am very happy with it. My bike came with a Fizik which a lot of people love but I hated. Very personal as others have said.

I couldn't agree more about wanting to try...and am staggered at the number of retailers that expect you to drop serious money on a saddle that you can't try.

I was lucky as the same time as I was looking for a sadlle I had a Cyclefit appointment.....they have 20 or 30 in the shop. So whilst they were doing the "Fit" they let me try a whole range of saddles.

I'm currently using a Prologo Kappa - "free" from a Procycling sub

It feels pretty good TBH, not bad for nothing, as good as my Arione so far.

Personally, you can't beat Fizik saddles!
