I was hoping to get opinions on these cinches.  Pros?  Cons?  Thanks in advance!

I love mine! I have a thin skinned pansy of a gelding that gets rubbed raw spots very easily. I got the fleece lined one. It doesnt move, rub, chafe, and I can tell a difference the way my horse moves more comfortably even though I did not think it would make that much of a difference. Highly recommend. I have the "Total Saddle Fit" one, I've had it a couple years. The liner is removable for easy washing and havent had any issues at all with it. Wont ride in anything else unless I have to. Honestly Im mad I wasnt the one to think of this first, lol. If you look at pictures of one on a horse it just looks like it fits better than a straight cinch. Im not usually a "fad" type person and dont run out and buy the cool new thing, but it is worth it in this case. :

I have one and really like it. It is also the Total Saddle Fit. It has the felt liner and my mare moves really well in it and has never gotten rubs. Definitely recommend!

I have Total Saddle Fit in fleece. It was fine on my narrow tb-builtmare, but it makes my big, round gelding's saddle roll. And I've NEVER had his saddle roll before.

My daughter and I use them exclusively and love them.   We use them on all shapes and sizes from colts to my big flat backed monster mare. We use the fleece

I've been on the fence and haven't bought one as I'm having a very hard time trying to figure out how a cinch that attaches at the very same points as our cinches we already use creates more soulder relief...

Friend of mine in TN had one split in half during a barrel run. Just throwing it out there and maybe it was a fluke who knows but I couldn't get passed that.

I've been riding in one for almost 2 years now. I just took it off this weekend & put my alpaca roper back on. I didn't notice a difference in the horse's movement & it sure didn't help a saddle from sliding forward while my young one was going through quite the downhill phase of growing. And it's super bulky under your foot. It covers the "button" I had on mine to move them over. They can't feel you through the cinch like mne can the alpaca roper. I pretty much had to retrain the 2 to my leg cues, which was not ideal. I tried all of the liners too. I probably won't put it back on

Not a fan. Mine kept sliding forward then the back of my horses shoulder was hitting it. The leather is really hard so it actually made her sore and cinchy.
