>>1033017Saddles are highly subjective dude. Some people find cutouts actually add sharp pressure to your junk. Problems often arise from poor setup not a poor saddle.
Just saying, for me, this b17 hasn't given any discomfort so far, even without bibs and i like it a lot. I never thought about a saddle breathing before but sweat wicking through the leather is actually really nice. It's also slowly softening and molding around my sit bones which is pretty cool.
Any saddle is a gamble and a brooks is an expensive gamble, but there is resale value. Just one option of many. Whatever works for your butt
