Since the fall a few months ago it's been a gradual return to recovery. After the numbness came the pain and after the pain came more numbness and tingling on my right side. This eventually settled into my rear end and turned into some serious discomfort even with only 100 miles a week to and from work becoming a pain (and numbness) in the proverbial.
Love the look of custom seats on here, and although it'd be great to splash out on one with the additional padding, I went for a cheaper and immediate option for now in case this is all temporary. It's made for hotter climates than England to let the air flow and might not be ideal for me next winter if I still need it, but I've used it twice and the spongy mesh padding works really well. At 8000 miles, the PCX seat felt like it has no padding whatsoever, but I don't know if it ever really did in teh first place and maybe I'm just feeling older.
£27 delivered. 100% Polyester mesh, about 2cm thick, that's meant to be waterproof, but can't imagine leaving it on in the worst of the English weather. The straps connect with velcro which is almost fully overlapped with no further room to pull in these pics. I'll probably pull the straps even further together so that they don't show as much, but will need to stitch in some additional velcro, which is a bit of a pain.
How does it look? Am I now "diaper-man"?

Yes you are.
But no one will know if you stay seated in traffic, and at parties.

Re: Tucano Urbano Seat Cover
Haven't tried it with just my bike jeans yet. But it's comfortable through trousers and bike gear, but can feel it's textured mesh. It feels cool underneath when riding, which is a little odd to start with - so it definitely allows for air flow with weight on it. How long that will last I don't know. Ebay. They have their own site but charge international shipping. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tucano-Urban ... 2749.l2649It looks pretty comfortable GBRU. Where did you order it from?
