Fizik Antares R1 CarbonThe Fizik Antares R1 Open Saddle is a favorite of cyclist who prefer a flatter saddle with a narrow, minimal nose and a median rear platform, but require a relief channel (hence the Open designation). If you choose the Regular 141mm width, this is not a slim, minimalist saddle for those with very narrow sitbones, but those who require just a little more width at the tail, and firmer support. The anatomic cut out shape makes this a leading performance
The Fizik Antares R1 Open Saddle is a favorite of cyclist who prefer a flatter saddle with a narrow, minimal nose and a median rear platform, but require a relief channel (hence the Open designation). If you choose the Regular 141mm width, this is not a slim, minimalist saddle for those with very narrow sitbones, but those who require just a little more width at the tail, and firmer support. The anatomic cut-out shape makes this a leading performance road saddle for riders who want a medium saddle profile and a cut-out to avoid pressure and numbness. The 153mm Large width give the same effect, but for those with wider sitbones.
With an aggressive taper to the narrow throat and nose, the Antares R1 Open allows for a clean, straight line to the pedals for minimal friction from the saddle itself. It is truly a unique model within the Fizik line-up, and often fits those who find the Arione too narrow and soft, preferring a firmer platform with dense, thin padding.
The shell is Fizik's strong and supportive Carbon reinforced Nylon. The slightly curved-edge profiles ease into the side panels that offer minor flex under the thighs for comfort without sacrificing bone structure support. The braided carbon rails soak up a little more vibration and contribute to the stiffness of the saddle structure and saves about 40 grams over the Kium rail version. The cover is Fizik's Microtex, which has proven comfortable and durable in all conditions. At just 160 grams (140mm width, and ICS accessory compatible, the Antares R1 Open is a durable, every day saddle with a race pedigree.

Silky and Soothing
Color: Cream, Size: 2 Pack Queen（20"X 30"）
I thought I was getting 1 of the queen sized but I got 2. I got these for my Pomeranian's fuzzy pillow. He's always hot and these are very cooling and very good quality. He loves them and are very comfortable for him. They totally transformed his shaggy old pillow. I used the larger body pillow covers to replace the covers I had. They matched my bedspread perfectly. I use 2 body pillows along the exterior wall in my bedroom where there is cold coming through the floor in the winter. I'm sure I will enjoy them in the summer when it's hot too!

super smooth, silky, stays comfortable feeling. DO NOT DRY or wash with heat
Color: Blue, Size: Queen (U.S. Standard), Set name: Stretchy and Soft, Color: Blue, Size: Queen (U.S. Standard), Set name: Stretchy and Soft
I'm impressed. I have used cooling pillow cases before, and found them effective, but the cooling material have always been on just one side. These are 100% cooling material. The material is super smooth and silky feeling. It is great feeling against hair and skin (even better than my old polyester satin I was using before cooling pillowcases). The material is cool, and does not seem to get hot hot. The pillow cases are super stretchy with a small hidden zipper. They grab onto the pillow and dont loosen up. Makes my pillow look neat and clean, not sloppy from loose material. I can even have two pillows stacked and somehow despite being a smooth material, the pillows dont just slide off each other.
The cooling aspect works by not trapping heat, not allowing heat to get to the pillow and hold it there. So yeh, the pillow case will feel warm eventually but if you have a fan, or AC, or flip the pillow, then it is is truly cool. Otherwise in my experience when I use a pillow without this, the pillow just gets hot, stays hot, and even with flipping it feels hot.. because the pillow itself has trapped the heat for remainder of night. Yuck.
One thing to know and this is very important-- as I learned the hard way-- DO NOT DRY IN DRYER. DO NOT WASH IN HOT WATER. Heat will destroy the material ability to feel and stay cool. Do you want a regular heat trapping pillow case? Then go ahead and dry these in the dryer a few times and you will have a regular pillow case. HOw do I know? I bought these to replace another set (different brand, same idea, same instructions that I failed to remember). I always dried them in the dryer, and one night after having gloriously cool pillows, I noticed that my pillow was HOT night after night. It was then when looking for another set of pillow cases that I learned that they cant be exposed to heat like that. SO PLEASE, just AIR DRY.
And so, after I got these and put them on my pillows, I had a much better nights rest. I remember thinking that I wasnt waking to rearrange my pillows. They were just comfortable all night long. Sure, I'd love an even colder pillow, but our room is on the warm side. But at least I wasnt noting the hot hot pillows anymore.
