Anybody use one? Likes? Dislikes? I just bought another brand in an emergency situation when my old one tore at a show and I’m not really liking it, thinking about buying one of these...
Have not used this particular cinch, but I won't put neoprene on my horses skin, even if it claims to be soft and self lubricating. I have only ever used quality fleece cinches OR 100% wool strand cinches.
I have several of what used to be called the soft touch. Which I think are the same material as the feather flex. Very soft and flexible. Have had no complaints from my horses.

I have been using Professionl Choice neoprene cinches for years and years never ever had a issue..I just dont like the pads that have neoprene on the under side.

Not a fan of neoprene either. I did just buy one of the Air Flex cinches that have the white underside with air pockets. I'm even a little leery of that too, but Im hoping it will be okay.

I have looked at the Air Flex cinches and didnt like the looks of them to me they look like they would pinch and pull on the skin/hair, I thought that about the Professional cinches too about the neoprene ones untill I bought one for my sports saddle 25 years ago and I like the heck out of them so the air flex could be ok to, you never know untill you try.
LOVE mine! I keep it a little snug, but looser than most. I've never had any issues, I don't think I would ever have anything else. I love that it doesn't have to be tight to keep everything in place =]
