Nice leather saddles -- how do they weather?

I bought a US$50 Specialized saddle today. Nice, padded, gel, racy looks,
"man's channel". But I got to wondering how this would weather the seasons
(rain, freezing temps, etc.).

Of course I'll use a "Safeway seat cover" when parking it on rainy days, but
it will be parked outside (tarped) during winters.

Will such a saddle survive more than 1 year? Maintenance suggestions?

Thanks.

It'll go mouldy if its kept damp and you dont use it. Give is a rub
every couple of months with a waxed duster which you keep for the
purpose. Dont wet it with wax, its the lightest protective coating
you want.
