Default Saddleman Explorer Seat

Can anyone tell me about this seat. I'm looking for a seat that is a good bit firmer than the stock 99eglide seat and is comfortable for a passenger. I mostly ride with a street glide seat that was modified by Meancitycycles, and I like it but want something that is better for a passenger. Would the Saddleman Explorer be a good idea?

never sat on the Explorer set but I hav a Saddleman Road Sofa on my Ultra 3rd Road Sofa I've owned, the wife is the one that made me buy it she hated the sock seat we do 2 2 week trips a year between 4000 to 6000 each and aftr the 1st trip she said no more till I changed the seat, its a little firmer than stock but it molds to your butt, it has gel pads and memory fam in it. I know a fw guys with Saddlman seats and no one has ever said they wish they didn't buy it

I had a saddleman explorer seat on a metric bike I used to own. It seemed a little hard when you first settled in to it but I could ride a lot of miles on that seat and not get seat weary. The one I had was also a pretty good backrest because of the way the seat was built.
