| 06/01/2001 | Derri-Air Saddles Help Reduce Injuries, Enhance Performance Derri-Air, a Montana-based manufacturer of ergonomic cycling accessories, offers a unique bike seat that helps reduce injuries, improve performance and add pleasure to bicycling.
Many cyclists have experienced the discomfort associated with sitting too long on narrow, hard bicycle saddles. The problem lies in the body weight that’s being placed on the perineum, the area located between the anus and the scrotum. Up until now, bikers’ have had to rely on extra padding or jell padding that’s ineffective because it cuts off circulation. Women also report chronic soreness from padded and cutout saddles that are designed with the male anatomy in mind.
Derri-Air’s seats eliminate the problem with its patented “Dual Air Chambers”, two adjustable air-filled sacs that cradle the “sit bones” on a cushion of air. The chambers are separated by a deep groove that Derri-Air calls the “comfort zone”. The groove serves as an air gap that eliminates seat contact with the perineum. Each chamber functions individually, allowing you to compress one chamber without loosing air into the other chamber, thus retaining the integrity of the cushion. Each seat comes with a small pump used to adjust the chambers that easily fits in the palm of your hand.
Each Derri-Air saddle is built to last even under the most difficult conditions and with the most demanding use. The front of each seat has one and a half inches of soft foam and is angled downward for more clearance. The front is covered with slippery friction-reducing material to avoid chaffing. The rear of each seat is made of special gripping material to help keep the rider securely placed on the seat. The air cushion is constructed of durable nylon with a special air- tight coating. The air cushions can be replaced without tools. The entire seat is covered with tough, maintenance-free neoprene.
Ranging in price from $49.95 to $59.95, Derri-Air saddles come in three models to choose from:
