Favorite touring saddle for big guy? (leminal.space)

Apparently, finding a saddle is my new hobby. I have wide sit bones (160 mm or so), I weigh about 89kg, and stand 194cm. ("healthy" BMI)

The only rideable saddles I own are a Velo Plush Hybrid PU leather and an M/L Ergon ST Gel. Smaller saddles are right out (I have a number of those.)

This is for long days on and off road. My last overnighter left me with tender spots. 🙁

do you have bike shorts? those really help when out on full day rides. genitals can also impact ideal saddle shapes. sorry not a suggestion, just more considerations 😅

I have cheap ones and the padding edge/stitches sit right at my sit bones. My regular boxers and base layers are the same way. That's a different search.
