I did 15 kays on the old stumpy on the weekend, half way along I jumped off for a wee and was given a stark reminder of why you need to have a good saddle as my junk was completely numb.
There's another saddle thread kicking round that recommended the CRC branded prime enduro saddle which I just bought and is fast becoming my favourite. I actually don't mind the free "nukeproof" one i got with the hardtail, though it is just a rebranded Velo by the looks.
What the weekend reminded my of, most of all, is to have the seat angle correct. For so many years I used to ride with the nose slightly up which puts too much pressure on the meat and 2 veg. Nowadays I make sure all my saddles are flat enough to move pressure to the rear, without having them tilted so far that you're actually holding yourself up/back with the bars.
