Airhawk vs cheaper versions vs gel pads

[MrLongbeard]

I've got pair in the post as I have a full days riding planned soon.

That's a hard pass from me, they make no difference in riding comfort, you have to walk about feeling like you've filled your nappy and they're bloody bloody hot to wear.

I can see how they might work for narrow seats where you sit astride it, but for a cruiser seat where you sit on, the padding in all the wrong places
