Well,
saddles are a bit like boobs. Sure you can somehow say some are better than others, because they are firmer or softer, bigger or smaller or come in different shapes, sizes and colors. But for every person who likes a certain style/pair best, there´ll be someone who prefers a different pair.
Also you might like different styles for different purposes best?
I really like the Espacio Libre. My feet/dick/legs don´t get numb. It looks alright and is durable. What else could I demand?
I have to admit that some people who take my bike for a spin complain about that horrible edge on that saddle!
Someone posted a link in one of the threads to some nice looking mountain bike saddles that had a divot for your taint, but I can't find it. Any idea?
Imo the best dick safe saddle is the Smp Trk saddle.
Not the lighest but most comfortable man saddle ever and the bend down nose is great for climbing position etc

Sugoi chamois have excellent padding.

+1.
I only found this saddle as part of a paid saddle fitting program at a LBS. I've loved my SMP on the road bike.
Has anyone tried the Specialized Phenom saddle? I've read some good reviews from readers who actually discussed numbness and long distance riding.
Is there a possibility the specialized tent at Crankworx might have one to try sitting on?
Found the phenom better suited to the road. Edges too sharp to trust around my middle areas, and overall rigidity beyond preference for dynamic terrain. Prefer the Henge if sticking with S-brand. Definitely think there is something to the custom width approach.
I like flatter seats. Got a Bontrager Evoke SL. Liked it so much I bought 2 more.
I see saddles like shoes. If you find one that works, buy a few so you're not singing the black and blues when they discontinue your favorite ass-and-nut-holder.
WTB Deva or Devo or a Chromag Moon have been okay for myself.
And like others have said get a quality bib chamois for underneath
Also I've found it feels weird use a chamois underneath and ride with flat pedals
I second the Deva. I bent one in half and amazingly still have nuts. Other than that I've had good luck with anything WTB. I've got a Pure V right now.
Ergon SME3 saddle….works great, I even ditched the Chamois
Where do you buy Ergon? Any shops in Vancouver area?

Replacing my saddle too.
To me the WTB Volt seems like the best choice out of saddles I've been able to check out in person. Soft padding, no weird short catching stuff on back edge, appears to have a shape and width designed for humans.
The Specialized Henge is similar, but bit harder and back edge bit sharper.
This Fabric Scoop saddle looks really interesting:

Too bad it has to look like a cock and balls to protect your cock and balls.
