Anyone using a tri specific saddle? By "tri specific" I mean with thick padded nose. If so, does it make a difference on long rides?

Been using a Profile Design Tristryke saddle for the past month.  The padded nose makes a big of difference, particularly in the aero position.  I can ride on the front without the boys complaining too much.   The split design also helps.  Not sure about the fancy air deflectors, but if nothing else they look high-tech.

I can 2nd the TriStryke.  Nice and comfy for the long rides.

here's a 3rd on the Tristryke. Much better then the other big nosed saddles out there. Cant think of the names off the top of my head but a friend rides them and we both agree that the tristryke is better.

I use the Arione Tri Saddle by Fizik - I used the Arone saddle previously before they came out with the tri version. I liked them both - the extra padding up front is helpful.....you really gives you a lot of room to move around and find a different positon.

I've been using the Selle San Marco Azoto Tri Gel saddle for several years. It may have a bit more padding than I actually need but I love it.
