Anyone any views on Albion K2 Jump compared Kontact Lite?

[porkpie]

As above, have had a K2 Jump with last horse and loved it, looking for something similar for new pony but there are not many second hand around. I see also that there are a few Kontact Lites around 2nd hand. I need something really forward cut as I'm quite long in the leg from hip to knee, hence liking the K2 but have never sat in a Kontact lite.

Any views, hints, tips please? I had to buy a Wow Jump saddle for the last horse but I really want to go back to an Albion as I prefer them.

Oh good grief I had a new-ish K2 jump and we nick-named it the crotchbuster! Awful thing; got rid of it sharpish! No idea what the Kontact Lite is like but most people I know who have had the newer Albions have experienced the same thing.

Hmmmm, actually you are right - I did need to use a seat saver with the K2 - I'd conveniently forgotten that! Oh dear - I hate the whole saddle fitting saga! At least the Wow was comfortable, I just hate it!

I have the K2 jump & absolutely love it, fits me & the horse beautifully & it's the safest & most confident I've felt jumping/XC. Think it's a bit of a marmite saddle, love it or hate it!!
