Default Do you regret getting gel in your seat?

I'm ordering my C&C Sport Tour seat today and can't decide on if the gel is a good idea or not. If you bought a seat with gel in it do you regret it or are you satisfied with the extra comfort? I know they will hold heat and cold but I'll cover the seat with a white towel if left outside for an extended period in the summer. Thanks!

I have a C&C Fastback seat, no gel , but it is the most comfortable seat I've ever owned.

I did the Gel with memory foam upgrade a few years ago. I ride without that seat now. Nothing note worthy that would make me do it again, unless it was free, even then, maybe.

I had gel put in my '93 Classic seat years ago-couldn't stand it. Had to go on ebay and buy another stock seat.Sold the gel seat at a loss.

I have a C&C seat as well, but it doesn't have gel either. It's damn comfortable!!!!
I had a Corbin gel seat and it was pretty damn tough to take at times...

No gel for me anymore either. I've never seen anything hold *** burning heat longer than that gel crapola. Gonna send my C&C Solo back to get it removed for good.
