Sports reviews of Schwinn High-Density Foam Mountain Saddle
Customer Review: Comfort and economy - a great combination!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
pros: comfortable, standard installation, easy to adjust, inexpensive
cons:
This seat is super comfortable. I had a chance to take a trip on a very uncomfortable saddle recently and have come to appreciate my Schwinn saddle even more. I've used it almost daily for my 8 mile (x2) commute since I started biking 3 months ago. I just took it on my first real ride - 33 miles. Toward the end I was experiencing numbness which may have been avoided by moving the front of the saddle down a bit but overall I had a great ride thanks to this saddle! For comparison's sake I'm height/weight proportionate and wear chamois bike shorts when I ride. I have virtually no rear end, so I need all the cushioning I can get!
I can see where durability may be an issue in a year or two or five, but I'm willing to deal with the minor hassle of buying a new saddle sooner should that happen.
Customer Review: My butt is happy so I am happy :D

I just started getting into Mountain biking and the seat on my bike was pretty stiff and small. After my first time out riding the next day it hurt to sit down, the area between my manly parts and butt was killing me. I looked around on Amazon for a basic cheap seat with good review and saw this was the best choice. The next time out I was still a little sore from the last time but I noticed a huge difference in softness going over roots and rocks. Now I don't even get sore anymore and I ride harder than ever.
The bracket that came with it wasn't for my bike, but seats seem to be pretty universal so all I had to do was remove the mounting bracket from my old seat and put it on this one.
All in all this was a great purchase and my buddies already went ahead and ordered theirs too.
Customer Review: No better seat available at even a close price

I've had this seat for about 7 years. For anyone (especially guys) who ride a bike a lot, you simply must get an ergonomic one with the middle section open. I put 40-60 miles on my bike per week, so a good seat is important. You won't understand the difference until biking with one. This seat is amazingly comfortable. It is foam, not gel, but I actually like this better. It has withstood much use. Now, the material has come unsewn at the back. I love it so much I was about to sew it back, but I looked online and this seat is $16! I'll buy a few backups for that price. Before looking online, at the bike store today I bought a similar one for $70 made by Serfas. I still like this Schwinn one more and I'm going to return the Serfas and this same Schwinn. You'd be silly not to buy it.Customer Review: So much better!

The "stock" seat that came with my road bike was not very comfy. Put this guy on and it made a huge difference. Way, way better. For a baseline, I am a super-novice. My bicycling experience stopped with my driver's license 15 years ago. With a job relocation, I am about 10 miles from work and use it to commute a few times a week on a road bike. What used to be a relatively painful event for my behind is now pretty darn good. I can easily say this seat is perfect for my needs, and it doesn't even get hot in the sun like my old seat. It's a good fit and makes biking so much more enjoyable that I am now more inclined to ride than I was before this seat. BTW, I have not used biking shorts so I am interested to see how much softer everything will be once I go that route.Customer Review: Excellent choice regardless of the price

I ordered 2 of these for my kids' bikes. I was very impressed with the item right out of the box. The design is very high tech and sturdy, yet soft enough. I have not seen seats like these installed on any new bikes. They exceed standard bike seat quality. The installation was very easy and took a few minutes. In our case I did not need to make any adjustments and they both went in at the correct angle the first time. I tested both bikes with the new seats and was very impressed with the exact comfort. The kids love them too. I highly recommend this item and at this price I don't think you can go wrong. The only word of caution would be that someone else complained it was too small for them. I think for a standard-weight person there shouldn't be any such issue.
