I've got nearly a year and 5000 miles on my Mixed 5d saddle now.  Still loving it.  Put a second one on my road bicycle.  Have spent a dozen 6-8 hour days in the saddle, over a dozen 3 hour trainer/rollers sessions too.  Saddle is always comfy.

Decided to try the Mixed 5D thanks to this comment and a few others I read.
This impression is after about 250km after switching from my Selle SMP Hybrid.
My rides lately have been about 2 hour long, and it's more comfortable than what I was feeling with the Selle.
Thank you for the recommendation. ;)

Here's a recommendation for body diverse ladies like me,
my recommendation for bibshorts is this Ykywbike: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005006003183625.html
Points I like:
- Pad is comfortable for many hours on the saddle
- High waisted, so it holds the belly
- The leg length is enough to cover the calves, making it a good option to pair with long socks, and avoid the leg UV cover altogether.
- Mesh behind the knees and on the back, to help with heat dissipation
- Leg anti slip is the same quality I have on my other bib from Northwave (EU brand)

(If you're also a non-magazine model lady like me, please share your recommendations! <3)
