Flocked vs Cair

[LMS]

Don't want to put the product down but...
I'm glad I didn't get the chance to get the saddle with Cair and what I was thinking of which is far superior (where air pouches is concerned) is the Flair.
Having the choice now: I either go with flock or Flair. Not Cair or foam

"Wintec saddles without CAIR are stuffed with a top quality synthetic fibre". Pinks Lady would that be considered foam?

Yes that is the one It looks really nice on him, I borrowed a saddle for the shop to see I looked at a few saddles but really like the look and feel of this one

Have you tried the saddle by Dr. Klimke?

This is Flair. It's far superior to Cair, but MUCH more expensive I personally would get every saddle I have Flaired from now on. Wintecs can be flaired, and turn out really nicely too.

The isobella werth saddle is a much better design than 'normal' (500 type) wintecs. BUT they might not go wide enough for Frits - even the x-wide isn't that wide, and he'll be broad as well as having stallion withers.

Nope, what they really mean is they're too stingy to put proper soft wool in it It's just synthetic wool, which clumps quickly and causes lumps. I would get it removed and replaced with proper white wool flocking if buying one

Was that the one in the Pictures of him just backed? Thought it looked like a wintec. Only thing I remember thinking at the time though was that it looked too narrow,as it was too high at the front. What gullet did you have in it?

- Good to know that putting Flair in the Wintec is possible.
- Interesting that the Iobella is better designed.
- The quote I put about the synthetic stuffing was cut & pasted right from their web site.
So I guess I'll find out if the stuffing is crap or not once I can start using my saddle on a regular basis.
