I'm in need of a new saddle and my fitter is a Trek shop(team sponsored shop) and wants me to try a Bontrager Affinity. They have a 30 day money back guarantee, but before I drop any time/coin, any experience?
Also the team issue looks like a pretty slick saddle.

They tend to be decently light, and have always seemed as durable as anything else. As for whether they're any good or not, there's not a single opinion in the world that matters but your own. It's your butt! The 30 day comfort guarantee makes it a no-risk experiment.

Same here. I had a Bontrager saddle. It was ok, nothing great. The problem is that the stitching wore my shorts down, and the saddle only lasted barely one season, so I had get a new saddle. So, in the end I didn't really save much since I didn't get much life out of that Saddle. I also switched to a Specialized Romin. Much better built and more durable. I've been on it for 3 yrs now.

JUST GO FOR IT! that comfort guarantee thing is a plus since when you find your right saddle go with it! beats buying 2 or more saddles to find the perfect one.
