Subject: Koobi tri saddles - women's
Just wondering if any ladies out there are using or have tried the Koobi Women's PRS Alpha tri saddle?  It's the one that has a "tunable suspension" to absorb road shock.  Sounds like an interesting concept...but I'm curious if it actually works or not.  I'm currently having some saddle issues (I'm using a Terry Butterfly Tri Gel), so I'm trying to gather a list of "possible" saddles that I might be interested in trying out.  

FWIW...I've already tried the Cobb V-Flow Plus and it did not work for me.  Not sure if it was due to the narrowness of it (130mm) or what, but my sit bones protested loudly (numbness and pain) for the 300 painful miles that I put on it.   Incidentally, I happened to stop into a Trek store this afternoon...and while I was there, I sat on one of their "butt-o-meter" thing-a-ma-bobs.  Based on the impression of my sit bones, I measured in the "green" area, which equates to 150mm.  For maximum comfort, should I be looking at saddles that are 150mm or above in width?  Or should I be going for something a bit narrower, like say...146-148mm?   Oh...here is a pic and info on the Koobi that I'm interested in --http://www.trisports.com/kowoprssatia.html
