suspension seat post

Who makes decent ones?

I have a bike I use to cycle along towpaths and the like so I like the
suspension seat post. Current one is OEM and now suffers from side to side
waggle.

I'd rather get a better one.

Thudbusters seem to get good reviews.

Now there's a novel thing. I hadn't come across those before. Thank you::-)

I've got a Post Moderne that seems to have lasted quite well, 3,000
miles and up with no visible play at all.

There's so many of the damn things, I eventually went with one I thought
looked nice :-(

Well that's a good reason. I also just ended up fed up with the choice so
decided I would ask.

Which model was it?

No such thing. Suspension posts are made for selling to people
without good wheels and saddle.

How, better?

I suspect the seat I need would look like an armchair:-)

So it does end up waggling side to side.

Sorry about the delay, I had to a) undo the the seat clamp and b) take
off the towing hitch. Anyway, one of these

A Post Moderne Bracer.

Thanks for that. I think they have been discontinued but the prices for them
suggest to me that a similarly priced post moderne would likely also be a
decent one.
