[QUOTE="101stpathfinder, post: 1186174, member: 18625"] I have 3 RDL seats. The 1st one (Gen 1) had the quilt pattern in leather and I bought it on the forum used. The previous owner was near my H' & W' , but I do not know how many miles were on the seat. I have added 200k+ on that seat and it still looks and feels great! I use a bead rider in hotter weather. I use leather cleaner and conditioner after every long ride, making sure the leather on the folds under the seat and staple areas are cared for too. The other 2 seats are for my Gen 2 and are both half moon-tri patterns. Both were purchased used and I am trying to decide which one I like better. Notice I said "Liked Better"- You cannot go wrong with a RDL. The half moon shape seems perhaps more comfortable initially but after the miles they are equally comfortable. Plus the bead rider gives breathability to either in hot weather. Leather vs. vinyl… I have not put enough miles on the Gen 2 seat to compare the wear. However the leather may outlast me on the Gen 1 bike. [/QUOTE]
