I want to start riding my bike to the beach, swim, ride home. It’s like a 10 mile round trip. I don’t want to bring/change clothes. My guess is the all weather cambium would fit the bill, but would I be better off with a cheapo throwaway that I can replace after the warm season?

I guess I’m asking what can withstand the wet, salt and sand... or if there is a thing.

The all-weather Cambium will last forever. It's basically a plastic saddle. You can wipe off water with your hand and keep your bum dry. It's wonderful. You'll never have to replace it.

Thanks Dave. This is great Info and what I was hoping to hear.

Or just cover your trusty leather saddle. 10 miles is too long for me to fake it, I gotta have my B17.

The normal Cambium doesn't seem to have any problem with rain either. The one on my touring bike has been ridden multiple times in day-long rain, and hasn't suffered.

Riv has Aardvark saddle covers, they work and are less $ than another saddle.

Check out the PDW Dios Thronos. We have them on our "rain bikes".
