Sore Bottom

We're heading out for a ten day trip to Glacier ... it's going to be gorgeous! HOWEVER ... my bottom can only handle about five days ... not enough built in padding on me or the bike! Last year I used a gel pad - and it worked until the 5th day ... I felt every bump! Any recommendations?

Booty Pop
by: Crissy

I have nooo butt! I just need to stop about every 80 to 100 miles. It seems to be OK. I have a gel seat but have not tried it yet. They have these padded underwear now, to make your butt bigger, but have aided me on several football game days on the bleachers. Or wear an xtra pair of underwear and find something U think is comfy to slip in-between. Quite the conversation piece if they slip out, but oh well, if it works, who cares!

Sheep Skin
by: Helen Wheels

Soft, warm and breathable. The fuzzy pushes your butt up and lets the air flow. They use them for new born babies because they can't roll over and relieve the pressure. I love my Sheepskin - bought it at Pasu Farms in Alberta, Canada.

AirHawk Air Seat
by: Angie

I bought an Air Hawk air seat pad and LOVE it! I can ride all day and don't even feel it. They offer different sizes. You inflate it through a mouth tube - easy as pie. Plus its portable so can be moved from bike to bike. It has a bunch of small air compartments that move in tune with your body. I've ridden on other bikes without it and regretted every second of it. I can't recommend it enough. The large size that I bought was $150, but worth every single penny.

if you have time, purchase a Sargent seat.

Expensive, but worth every penny. I put one on my Ducati M620 and did an 8 day road trip last summer no problem. Put one on my Yami fz6 and getting ready to do a 2 week trip.
