I used to have a Zep. Although it was pretty comfortable for me, it was so wide that my wife didn't like it at all. My seat spread her knees too far apart and made it difficult for her to get her feet on her boards. I tried a Mustang for a while and it was better for her but not as good for me. Now I'm on a REACH seat, which is the best I've tried so far, but it is still not too good.
The other thing I found about the Zep seat is that it REQUIRES a rider's backrest. I tried riding without the backrest for a day and about wore myself out trying to stay erect enough to ride.
BB, backrest wasn't an issue fer me - put it on, an' did a 400 mile day with it no problem. Really enjoyed it - but the better half is a li'l thang, an' she found my part of the seat too wide ta ride comfortably.
TKJones spoke fer the saddle first, so it's his. Sorry ta the others - but he jumped on it lahk a puppy on a steak!
