The SA's are the saddle that my bee-hind has had the least fuss with. Most others rub it the wrong way (!) and cause problems. I'm 155lbs, so towards the end of the weight range for the regular version, which I believe is rated to 165lbs. The "X" clydesdale version is much more rigid, more like a Brooks and not nearly as comfortable for me.
I am experiencing the continuous stretching that others have reported and have had to tension the bolt about once every 2 weeks. The leather also splays outward, which effectively makes it wider than most other saddles, but this has never caused chafing problems for me. It really is the 'butt hammock' it is so-called to be. I can see how the saddle could be seen by some as flimsy or whatever, but for me, it's one of the critical aspects to riding a bike comfortably and I'll go with anything that works - (almost) regardless of the product's durability.
