I really want to try a Never Tight; a friend has a near tight and while it isn't snug, snug it is still tightish. Hopefully someone else has some input as to which is better, I'm curious too!

Competition riders like Ropers and Barrel Racers often need the NEVER~TIGHT Cinch. The less severe girthing situations are covered by the NEAR~TIGHT Cinch.

I got a never tight because I couldn't keep my saddle from rolling. I got a new saddle, tried several on my mare before I bought it, got a saddle that fit her well and everything. Still, I could feel some roll in the saddle when we ran no matter what pads or girths I tried. She turns like a cat, so there was that, too. The never tight was hands down the best money I ever spent. It doesn't have to be very tight at all when we run and I could tell right away that she was more comfortable and could breathe better in it. I have not tried the near tight, so I can't give an opinion about it. But, the never tight does exactly what Len brown claims on his web site. I love mine.
