Selle Italia Launches Sustainable Italian Made Saddle for $50
A agree these are more or less deposable this is a bit of greenwashing. Berthoud (sold on Rene Herse) or a traditional Brooks have far more tangible production footprint and material can be recycled and cover composted. As far as know in terms of sourcing Selle Italia/San Marco uses domestic production as well Fizik/Brooks. The majority of saddles if not made by those two are made by velo. On materials $25-50 USD most seats really cheap and very hard to salvage in any meaningful way $50-90 quality is better on mid range OEM these can be salvage but the foam is still hard to fix $110 + the Undercarrage is glass nylon or carbon fiber/nylon with EVA or high density more less the same up to the 300-350 range. The only difference is material of rails and sometimes the premium seats are bit more sculpted $350+ the undercarriage is actually carbon fiber and resin, but foam is same as the $100-300 range. Considering how rigid CF is coupled with cost I find these kinda silly I'm of the opinion Selle Italia monolink (or rail, I forget) was really on to something as personal clamping on CF is bad idea. I find a lot Selle Italia SLR that have delaminated from overnighting.

Older seats can pretty easily be recovered with any piece of microfiber and/or leather from a sofa or coat at a thrift store. Newer seats are tricker as the cover is tucked inside the the foam then sandwiched between the glass nylon undercarriage I've posted pictures on my profile if anyone want to look at the process

Video: What’s In A World Cup Mechanic’s Tool Box?
The quality and overall fit and finish of Knipex are exceptional and even prefer over Snap-on (or Fap off as AvE says) for the high-end stuff. Proto the best valve with and Klein Tool, Wiha kinda sit in the middle. For eating up slack in the long stem faceplate bolts these are a godsend since you can palm the wrench and spin it in or out. (not sure why the pic isn't loading on the page) https://www.wihatools.com/precision-ball-end-hex-metric-screwdrivers these are handy as well for some frozen seat posts without using a pipe wrench https://www.protoindustrial.com/en/industrial-tools/Proto/Pliers%2C-Snips-%26-Clamps/Pliers/J253G_Proto®-Soft-Jaw-Cannon-Plug-Pliers---9-1%7C2%22/

10 of the Best Mountain Bike Saddles Ridden & Rated
Contact Meld 3D to see if they can help. They do a full custom made seats tailor-made for someone's individual anatomy. https://www.meld3d.com You also you may be able to just cut out the section directly below where inflammation occurs. Not sure if your condition is acute or chronic how much modification is required. Personally I'd start with a used mid 1990's Selle Italia Flite or Turbomatic. Both are very versatile, have a lot of foam (avoid any gel flows, carbon rail, holes, trenches etc) and could be shaped accordingly. You also may want to look at a full grain leather Brooks or a Berthound from Rene Herse Cycles and cut out a relief hole out or have a professional shoe repair guy stretch the leather in area of discomfort. I'd avoid any or all of these low profile seats listed in this review.
