I’m male, 150pounds , 5’10" (skinny) and looking for a tri saddle for my skinny behind that will be comfortable and not crush the jewels. I did an IM last year with a small road bike saddle and it was OK but it would help if I had more comfort. I’m doing the Vineman Full this year and would like to upgrade to a more comfortable saddle. What do you recommend I check out?
Your overall size has nothing at all to do (necessarily) with the width of your seat bones.
What type of saddle were on you? What does your position look like?
Options include (but are not limited to):
ISM Adamo Racing II
ISM Adamo Road
ISM Adamo TT
ISM Adamo Attack
ISM Adamo Prologue
ISM Adamo Breakaway
Fizik Tritone
Specialized Sitero
Dash Tri.7
Dash TT.9
Cobb JOF55
Cobb VFlow Max
Among others.
I am a bit taller at the same weight and have great comfort with an adamo split nose.
As mentioned, the same saddle can work for many different body sizes, so just try out as many as you can!

I’m riding the saddle that’s stock on the Giant Defy bike. I’ll paste an image later. Can’t do it from work for some reason. Skinny single-nose saddle. I ride with clip-on aerobars in an aero position, however my position is not very agressive. My seat is actually positioned a bit lower than the one shown in the picture. Appreciate the help.
I’ve been using a fizik arione vsx, give it a look

You may want to give the Specialized Sitero a try.
