Hi I had an Airhawk 2 seat pad, it did help a bit with the pain but I didn't like the feel. As previously said I felt I was sat on the bike rather than in the bike if you know what I mean. I sold it and had a gel pad put in to the seat which I think worked better, I have now added a sheepskin cover to the seat but Ive yet to go on a long run using both, but I did prefer the gel pad to the Airhawk 2.
