It is certainly hard but it is very well vented. Even on the hottest days my back doesn't overheat, I do get very broiled though.

It is sort of like laying on a really hard metal mesh as even the comfort doesn't have much give. It was ok on my euromesh because the euromesh would give and on my hurricane it isn't bad because of the rear suspension.

I like the ventesit, and its well nigh indestructable (like The Tick, SPOON!) However I know several people who have definitely NOT liked them. Take Care, Nelson.

I like it because 1) It does not give me a wedgie. The stock pad does not allow me to wear baggie shorts without them riding up.. 2) Less chafing. 3) Generally more comfortable.
