I have a Brooks on my wedgie. I have ridden it, in extremis, with a
waterproof saddle cover on (from http://www.ctcshop.com if I remember
aright). I found it quite uncomfortable, though I can't say why - I
certainly got a lot more sweaty than usual, and I got a bad saddle
sore that day.
I'd be inclined either to treat it liberally with Proofide and make
sure it gets time to air-dry afterwards (which would be no worse than
a really wet ride, something the Brooks can certainly stand) or use a
different saddle.
