I ride ISM split saddles on my daily pavement rider and also my rigid 29 plus bike for off road. I put a Cane Creek Thudbuster on my rigid 29 plus bike, and I am happy. There is equilibrium in the Force once again. The saddle is one component of the whole.
Btw, I don't regularly ride with padding or padded shorts. Mostly it's compression shorts and fast dry underwear. Padding is not a requirement.
