I've been using a Spenco seat pad over an Avocet saddle for over a year now,
since I got really sore on my second century of last year.  I've used it on
both a touring bike and a mountain bike and find it helps quite a bit.
It's not miraculously comfortable; it adds just enough padding that I don't
get sore (uncomfortable, yes; sore, no).  I wouldn't want to ride a mountain
bike, it its fixed riding position, very far without it.  There's a new
"ultra-light" model this year which I haven't tried; the old "narrow" one
that I have is a bit heavy to add to a racing bike.
