How comfortable are the hard carbon fiber saddles sold on ebay/Amazon?

You might have to be more specific with links to the eBay listings so we know what style and brands.

It just happens that I bought this saddle from Amazon Amazon.com : New Light Weight Road Mountain Spyder Bicycle Bike Saddle, 168g, Carbon Print : Sports & Outdoors, on my bike for a couple of weeks.


It's not real carbon fiber, just looks like it and relatively light.

I've been commuting with it on nicer days, and had a short ride last weekend so to date the rides have been from about an hour and a half, down to only 35 minutes. It does take some getting used to so the jury is still out. I don't think I will enjoy it for longer rides unless I'm wearing bibs or shorts with some padding.

Carbon fibre saddles are laterally stiff yet vertically compliant for firm support and all day comfort.
