Proofide is the only substance to use for caring for leather saddles. Carefully formulated with special ingredients to condition, preserve and protect from rain, it helps keep the leather soft and maintain its suppleness. With regular use, your saddle will conform to your body and retain its beauty, comfort and support. New saddles should be treated at least once to aid '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, allowing it to penetrate until dry. Wipe thoroughly with a soft cloth to avoid any residual Proofide staining clothing. Also apply Proofide to the underside of the saddle. This coating prevents dirt and moisture. Proofide can be used multiple times during the \"breaking-in\" process. During and 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. Medium width is generally used for touring or commuting when the rider's spine angle is in a 45 to 60-degree position. Generally, the more athletic the riding posture, the narrower the saddle.\u003c\/p\u003e          \u003ch6\u003eWhy do I need to break in my leather saddle?\u003c\/h6\u003e          \u003cp\u003eNew leather is tough due to the tanning process and the extensive handling during the shaping process in our factory. This makes the fibers very strong, but also quite stiff. \"Breaking in\" is the process by which the saddle leather becomes soft and more pliable. 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 contact the metal structure and potentially lead to saddle failure, not to mention discomfort, as you may be sitting on the upper rails of some models or even the seatpost itself.\u003cbr\u003e          \u003c\/p\u003e        \u003c\/div\u003e      \u003c\/div\u003e      \u003cdiv class=\"card card-padding\"\u003e        \u003cdiv\u003e          \u003ch3\u003e10-Year Guarantee\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\u003eHandmade by artisans in the UK\u003c\/h3\u003e        \u003cp\u003eBrooks England saddles are handmade in the UK.
