Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the world's most comfortable leather bicycle saddles.

How do I break in my new leather saddle?

Unlike traditional leather saddles, Selle Anatomica saddles are designed to be comfortable from day one. Our unique slotted design allows the leather to move with you, eliminating the painful break-in period typically associated with leather cycling gear.

What is the weight limit for your saddles?

Our H-Series saddles are specifically engineered for riders weighing up to 250 lbs, while the X-Series is ideal for riders under 190 lbs. Choosing the correct series ensures the longevity of the leather and the best support for your sit bones.

How should I maintain the leather to ensure it lasts?

We recommend applying our proprietary Saddle Sauce every 3-6 months depending on riding conditions. Avoid riding in heavy rain without a cover, and never use petroleum-based products which can damage the organic fibers of the leather.

Do you offer international shipping?

Yes, we ship our saddles and accessories worldwide. Shipping costs and delivery times are calculated at checkout based on your specific location and preferred carrier.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 30-day comfort guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with the fit or feel of your saddle, you can return it within 30 days of purchase for a refund, minus a small restocking fee.

Can I replace the leather top if it wears out?

Absolutely. One of the benefits of our modular design is that the leather tops are replaceable. You can send your frame to us for a factory recovers, or purchase a replacement top to install yourself if you have the necessary tools.
