What is a comfortable seat of a bicycle commuter mens?

My plan is to buy the Marin Kentfield, I took a test ride yesterday and really enjoyed the trip by light. What is more, I bought if they had been able to offer the sale price up front, unfortunately told me I could buy now and get in store credit later. As tempting as it may seem I did not want to buy something without knowing that I spent a lot of accessories. Anyway, the bike was a real comfort pleasant journey, except that I feel most likely going to have to replace the seat. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should look to buy? or suggestions about the features I should look for? Or is it a feel and see these situations? Thanks in advance.

There is only one type of seat purchase. Everyone else is wrong! A hard leather seat, narrow, without springs is the most comfortable seat can get! Sound ridiculous? It is not. Hard leather feels very bad for the first two or three weeks of constant riding, but once the break trip to NEVER anything else. Why do you use the cycle top is always sold without the seat (or the pedals, but that's another story)? R normal. plastic (or whatever) stuffed shells always have better places – places where the bones press down on one point. Padded seats deposit can not completely prevent. A finally leather seat is molded to the contours of the rear unequal and acts like a hammock to support the back evenly across the entire length of the seat. No points hot. Strait is best to avoid friction. The difference in support between the seat of fat and a close one is negligible. Irritation, on the contrary occurs if the seat is even a bit too big. A blister down there ………… slightly unpleasant. Springs do nothing but add weight. The first major setback and it bottoms ALL, which is what same as no springs. hard leather naturally rebounds (must be hard to support the weight of the body) and can not, by definition (of a lower total ouch! there is no pun intended). This is all based on the desire to ride. If you only walk 5 miles each, three times a summer, then get a gel cover their Spenco normal seat. If you drive to or more than three weeks in total, one hour each time for the season, then it is worth it to get a real leather seat. So, they take a long time to come and are insanely expensive: you can spend $ 200 on a leper or a Brooks or Ideale. No wonder they are not exactly popular? But the good news is that with the least amount of attention that lasts forever. And if you look carefully you can throw a chair sweet Brooks really out of thirty one years old, $ 100 Raleigh a garage sale. I guarantee if you get a new or used, and break on the right and take care of him, he will move it from bike to bike until the day to stop riding.
