Brooks

He wants something 'cool' looking on his new shiny MTB

Brooks are kind of erm old-fashioned cool (and also have a tendency to get nicked in London so may not be the best choice as this is where the OP rides)

Your first stop should be a bike shop and get your sit bones measured. You wouldnt buy a pair of shoes without knowing the size of your feet.

We can throw all sorts of saddle names at you. But you need to know your size.

I know this as I have a shelf full of saddles which I bought before I finally got measured. I then got the correct size and its great.

This is very good advice! I did not consider this perspective thank you. You are an experienced veteran

Thank you everyone, I won't individually thank you for risking spamming the thread but thank you to each and everyone one for sharing your experienced views. I will get my tush measured. The pain is definitely in the "sitting bones."

Have a great week
