I am looking at buying an all purpose saddle and I am tossing up between the following two saddles.
Anyone have a preference either way? I am using it for trail and basic flatwork.

Collegiates are generally very good saddles. They usually last pretty long and are quite comfy. I would pick the Collegiate, but go with what you like the best. Good luck!

I have a Collegiate. It's not the fanciest looking saddle, but it's lasted FOREVER and it's held up very well.

It's a Collegiate Graduate with a plain flap.

You can't go wrong with one, you'll definitely get your money's worth.

Go with the Collegiate. It's a good brand on a budget. I've never even heard of the other kind.

I absolutely LOVE Collegiates! They last forever and are super comfy.
