Selle An-Atomica Titanico leather saddle after 1 year (-10deg C winter, 30deg C summer) of commuting and occasional touring (Hokkaido, Japan)
I am quite rough with my gear; this saddle did not get any special coddling or pampering. The only 'maintenance' it got was occasional saddle tensioning. The bike was stored under cover overnight, but outside during the day, regardless of rain, sun, or snow. Probably the most abuse the saddle got was a 1,000km loaded cycle tour (including some off-road) where it rained heavily 50% of the time I was on the road (despite the rain, it was a fun trip).
