Proofide is the only substance to be used for the care of leather saddles. Specially formulated with unique ingredients, it conditions, preserves, and waterproofs, helping to keep the leather supple and maintain its softness. With regular use, your saddle will adapt to your body and retain its beauty, comfort, and support. New saddles should be treated at least once to aid in \"breaking in\". Treat and protect the saddle from natural elements. Never apply Proofide to a wet saddle. Apply a small amount of Proofide to the finished top surface of the leather and allow it to penetrate until dry. Buff thoroughly with a soft cloth to avoid any residual Proofide remaining on clothing. Also, apply Proofide to the underside of the saddle. Retain this coating to prevent dirt and moisture. During the \"breaking in\" period, Proofide can be used multiple times. Periodically thereafter. Do not over-apply. After the break-in period, it is normal and appropriate to tension the saddle to maintain its shape and comfort. To tension the leather top, rotate the nose bolt nut clockwise, 90° at a time, checking after each turn until the desired tension is achieved. You can use the tension wrench or an Allen key.\u003c\/p\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e      \u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cdiv class=\"card card-padding\"\u003e        \u003cdiv\u003e          \u003ch3\u003eF.A.Q.\u003c\/h3\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e        \u003cdiv\u003e          \u003ch6\u003eWhich Brooks saddle is right for me?\u003c\/h6\u003e          \u003cp\u003eOur leather saddles come in different shapes and styles, depending on the type of bicycle or riding position. For example, wider saddles with springs are ideal for an upright, 90-degree posture. A medium width is generally used for touring or commuting when the rider's spine angle is in a 45 to 60-degree position. In general, the more athletic the riding position, the narrower the saddle.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003ch6\u003eWhy do I need to break in my leather saddle?\u003c\/h6\u003e          \u003cp\u003eDue to the tanning process and the significant handling of the molding process carried out in our factory, new leather is tough. This makes the fibers very strong, but also quite stiff. \"Breaking in\" is the process where the saddle leather becomes soft and more elastic. Time, effort, and care are key to keeping your leather saddle in optimal condition. Primarily through riding, the leather will conform to your body shape and become more flexible. Over time, the natural movement of the leather will act like a hammock when riding. But be careful to ensure the leather does not sag too low, as this can cause it to come into contact with the metal structure and potentially lead to saddle failure, not to mention discomfort, as you might be sitting on the upper rails of some models or even the seat post itself.\u003cbr\u003e          \u003c\/p\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e      \u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cdiv class=\"card card-padding\"\u003e        \u003cdiv\u003e          \u003ch3\u003e10-Year Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e        \u003cdiv\u003e          \u003cp\u003eRegister your leather saddle on the Brooks website within 3 months of purchase to extend the standard 2-year warranty to a total of 10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e        \u003chr\u003e        \u003ch3\u003eHandcrafted by British artisans\u003c\/h3\u003e        \u003cp\u003eBrooks England saddles are handcrafted in the UK, and the leather surface may develop small cracks during the pressing and shaping process, as well as showing traces of handmade craftsmanship, making each one unique.
