Looking for feedback on Infinity Saddels
They have a no return policy and I have bought so many saddles for the trainer I thought maybe I could get some feedback before I bought yet another saddle to try

Invented by a chiropractor, aka a snake oil salesman.
That’s a lot of money for a no return policy.
They aren’t for everybody, but I know some folks (including the wife of the former owner of this site) who swear by them.
It’s kind of a last resort type of recommendation for me, but I have definitely suggested them to some folks when nothing else has worked.
I focus on some of the shorter ultra cycling events and traded my ISM for an Infinity a few years ago. The ISM was fine for about 15 hours, then I’d start to have some rubbing & chafing issues that would get progressively worse. Switched to the Infinity and have done a few long events in the 30 to 40 hour range, continuous except for a few food & bathroom breaks) with zero saddle issues. After my first great experience, I got one for the road bike too. There are quite a few RAAM stories about riders who were about to withdraw because of saddle issues who made the switch a couple thousand miles into the race and went on to finish the race. My view is most people won’t benefit much from the Infinity, but those with particular fit issues and those riding for extended time periods just might. If you know someone who has one, you might ask to try it out for a couple weeks.
If your issue is sitbone pain this saddle can work for you. I have a dozen or so to clients that really couldn’t find any relief on their sitbone pain in any other saddle.
Definitely no snake oil as is suggested, but as Fredly says, as a last option, yeah, they work.
