Which saddles do you find most comfortable for long fast road rides?

Brooks leather saddles.

I have switched to the Brooks C.17 on almost all of my bikes. It is
very close to my most comfortable saddle ever, a Brooks Pro that I
bought in 1976 and which was still on one of my bikes until 2016. It is
finally not quite so comfortable any more; leather changes with time.
Like my old Pro, with the C.17 I just don't think about my saddle while
riding. If you have to think about it, it's the wrong saddle. I also
like the lack of worries with rain compared to leather saddles.

But we'll see if I get 40 years out of those C.17s like I did out of my
Pro. Probably not, since in 40 years I'll be 98, but I can hope. How
cool would it be to be able to ride my bike into my 90s! Maybe a century
on my century?
