    I've got one I use for touring.
    There isn't a huge difference in height.It's OK It just means your arse doesn't start to ache quite as soon.
    Be careful where you leave it,the gel pad get's f*****g hot if you leave it in the sun :eek:

    I bought mine from someone on here and if you can pick up a good used one it might be worth it.For the price of a new one it might be worth looking at an Airhawk.

    Cycling shorts aren't that bad - I wore mine on a trip to Germany - it helped a bit, but that old Bonnie seat felt rock hard after 3 hours!
