Default Butt pad

I need to get me a seat pad. My bottom gets pretty sore. I'm looking around but there are so many not sure which to get. Any recommendations?

air hawk seems to be the standard others try to replicate. Expensive. I want one too.

air hawk.... expensive, but worth it. there are two models...one is neoprene and the other is rubber.... difference in materials show in the differences in prices. if you get one, do not inflate a lot....a little air goes a long way! I have a buddy with back issues and he has his blown up as hard and as full as you can get it, and he complains about it being too stiff. keep telling him to let air out and try it. but he won't listen to me!!!
Air Hawk!!!

As others have said, air hawk is the top choice here.

I recently put a TP on my bike. The wife Lesley wanted a "more stable backrest" compared to a backpad. I have the stock seat on right now. I dont think she will be on the bike all the time. So I was going to wait ans see how she likes the TP. I was thinking of getting her one of these to add to my stock seat for her. Think that will suffice until I see how she likes to ride? If she wants to ride more, I can invest in a better seat.

Wink There is only one....

Airhawk rocks! I got one a while back and it is really comfortable. Just be sure not to put too much air in it...

Why not just buy a more comfortable seat?
Butt pads are just bandaids on the real problem.

if you think you need a butt pad then you really need a new seat otherwise you're just putting a towel on a brick

Air Hawk and a cropped sheepskin make my fanny smile.
