I love the 26L waxed cotton backpack. It feels noticeably more firm and stylish than my previous Patagonia. It does feel a touch more "precious", hence would use it more for city and work and less for hiking.
The pre softened short nose women’s saddle on the first ride was comfortable . I look forward to many rides with it and can’t wait to experience the saddle once it’s broken in. Ordering was easy , shipping was fast and the craftsmanship is beautiful. I knew people raved about these. I’m glad I finally decided to get one .
Superb factory tour, really interesting. Engaging and friendly staff. I was amazed that you didn’t have a commemorative saddle for sale at the end, but ended up buying one anyway!
Ordered bar tape. I received it and it was destroyed. I’ve contacted them twice about a return/refund with no response. Their return system through their website doesn’t work.
I was very pleased with both rapid shipping and the identical quality of the Brooks Standard Professional saddle, as was originally equipped on my Dad's 1972 Peugeot PX10. Although the original Brooks saddle served him for life over more than 40 years of frequent riding, the well softened saddle was no longer able to take more aggressive riding. With the new saddle and memories of him, I'll keep enjoying many more years of the cycling sport he introduced to me.

Brooks always does a great job with quality, function, and value for the consumer. I bought spare rivets but they were the wrong size. The listing says for all brooks saddles but was wrong. They don’t fit the c13.
