Brooks saddles and rain and care

07-20-2004, 05:35 AM

Last year, I had a Brooks saddle and thought it was very comfortable.
However, the leather moved away from the rivets, which then became quite
painful. I'm thinking that I did not take care of the saddle. Can you
ride a Brooks in the rain? Do you need to put a cover on a Brooks when
riding in the rain? Also, I never used anything on the saddle. Would
using something like proofide have prevented the leather from separating
from the rivets?

Thanks!
