THE TERRY DIFFERENCE
For over 20 years we’ve been building the best line of cycling bottoms for women. All women. All types of riding. We ride, we test, we sponsor teams and we work with great partners all over the world to source fabrics and new technologies.
FIT
We offer more fit alternatives than any other brand in women’s cycling. A number of our bottoms come in two or even three lengths. We offer low-rise, mid-rise and even high-rise waist bands as conditions and rider style warrant. And we also offer bottoms in all lengths in plus sizes (1X-4X).
COMFORT
As women and serious distance riders ourselves, we design specifically for women knowing what the issues are and providing the best comfort solutions. Consider our unique Flex Air™ chamois, the first fully perforated 4-way stretch pad designed not only to ventilate but to eliminate bunching and seam abrasion where the inside of the leg meets the saddle.

The proof that we listen is in our product.

For over two decades, Terry has worked with all levels of riders and addressed all types of saddle comfort issues. Introduced in 1999, the Italian-made Butterfly represents the best in all that research and development. The Butterfly Carbon is the lightest of all Butterflies thanks to carbon rails, but has all the comfort features that make the Butterfly the best all-around saddle for women. Wider in the rear than typical race saddles for good support of a woman's sit bones; completely cut away through the nose and mid-section, making it flexible and comfortable against soft tissues; low profile, flat top with injection molded foam that's firm in the rear for proper sit bone support and more power while pedaling. In a sleek, black leather with gloss butterfly graphics, it's a beauty on any premium ride.

Great Saddle -
4/5 stars
I have been using Terry saddles for many years. They are great saddles! This saddle for me is the most comfortable one I've experienced. I ride about 125 +/- miles each week in the riding season, and 3x weekly on the trainer in winter. I only gave it 4 stars due to its durability. After about a year and a half, the leather on the sides begins to wear out (saddle foam begins to show through and afyer continued riding the leather begins to rip off), and the leather on either side of the stitching between the back leather piece and center leather piece begins to pull apart; I use duct tape at that point to cover it up and keep it from ripping more. This year, I needed to replace this saddle for the third time in six years. So, $600 over 6 years. A saddle that costs $200 should last a lot longer than 2 years!. I highly recommend that the Terry designers look at a different and more durable cover (I would be happy to test it for you). Before buying this saddle again this year, I tried 2 other Terry saddles that had a more durable cover, and a non Terry saddle. None of them worked for me... and trying to find a new saddle that works for me is incredibly stressful. So, I bought this again, and yes, I am happy, but not looking forward to two years from now having to buy it again because the leather and stitching wears out.

Butterfly Carbon
5/5 stars
I like this saddle but I agree if you ride a lot it wears out quickly. I'm replacing a replacement saddle from my LBS that I got less than 8 months ago. I ride on average 120-150 miles per week

Not for me - too wide
2/5 stars
I have the Terry FLX seat but have been finding that uncomfortable when I ride longer than 2.5 hours (both on the road and mountain bike) so thought I would try a more padded seat for endurance rides but the Butterfly is too wide for my sit bones so I am going back to the FLX.

awesome saddle
5/5 stars
I got his saddle after using a minimal men's saddle for years. I needed something with a cutout , additional padding and without a lot of weight or extra material. This saddle fits me perfect! Thanks Terry

Smooth As Butter
5/5 stars
Our wonderful Terry rep Whitney graciously donated some Terry gear to our documentary HuanDao, where a female friend & I rode the coastline of Taiwan in 2 weeks. One of our goodies was an older model of the Butterfly Carbon, and it is a fantastic saddle. Ultra lightweight, ultra comfortable for 60-mile days, day after day!

Comfortable saddle!!
5/5 stars
This saddle is so comfortable! I have it on my mountain bike and it does a great job on rough terrain. I can thankfully say that that my legs get tired long before my seat feels tired. I also have the butterfly century on my road bike; this saddle has more cushion than the century and feels great. If you are struggling with a generic/not womens specific saddle give the butterfly a try, for me it is the difference between pain and fun!

Float like a butterfly & sting like a bee!
9/5 stars
I purchased this to replace the Bontrager seat that came on my Trek hybrid. The Bontrager wasn't horrible, but I just wanted an even more comfortable seat, since longer rides were getting to be hurty on my lady-parts.
The Terry Butterfly Carbon Saddle is significantly more comfortable than my stock saddle and it's light as a feather. I am generally a fairly frugal person, so this saddle was a splurge for me (that's the only reason I nicked it half a star).
Saddles are such a personal choice that what may be fablulous for one person could be torturous for another person. Online reviews can only tell you so much, and your butt will tell you the rest.
Sometimes it takes a couple of long rides on a new saddle to figure out if you just need to get used to the saddle or if it really isn't panning out, so it was nice to have the option of using Terry's generous return policy, if needed.
