Just mounted the new ISM PN3.0 and will report back with my thoughts after riding today and racing on tomorrow
My first thoughts:

My first thoughts:
- It has the largest cut out of any saddle I've worked with (I've ridding most ISM, Dash, Cobb, Fizik, SMP saddles available)
- The width of each individual arm is the narrowest out there. This reduced surface area places more pressure on the ischial tuberosity, but that also holds me in place better
- The cushioning is very soft/non-dense, so I my ischial tuberosity sink in quite a bit, though I'm not bottoming out. Rather, it seems this is holding me in place better
- ISM has narrowed the rear of the cut out seen on the Attack/PN1.0, which has provided more plastic shell further forward, allowing for the outside of the arms to be brought inwards on the PN3.0 compared to the Attack/PN1.0. That more gradual sweep on the Attack was a major issue for me in terms of the saddle interfering with the seams on my tri shorts and the pad in bike shorts. I'll report back to state whether the PN3.0 shape alleviates that problem. See image below
