With all of the ramifications of COVID over the last three years, Schleese has used the pandemic as an opportunity to not only develop a revolutionary Virtual Custom Fit Saddle and online fitting process, but has fostered relationships with several social media influencers at all levels to help to continue to spread the word on an educational level about saddle fitting and saddle design.
