Anyone use a Heather Moffatt seatbone saver?

[Aniseed]

I'm doing a charity challenge ride in a few weeks which will mean being in the saddle for up to 7 hours a day. I wondered if it would be worth investing in one of these. Do any of you guys have them and are they any good? Where did you get yours from? If anyone has got a second hand one lying around that you would like to sell me that would be great as I think they are quite pricey!

I borrowed one and I am now in love!! I really want to get one but the one's i've seen are quite expensive so might hold out until I can find it cheaper :-s

 

[Aniseed]

I know they are about £50 which is quite a lot. I suppose it's something I could keep using once I'm back though. So far the cheapest place I have found is Equestrian Clearance.

I used to have one as old saddle was most uncomfortable but sold it when I got new comfy saddle. They are expensive but I think they are worth it. Have a look on ebay.

Wonderful things!

Dont be tempted to go for a cheaper non HM option, they are nowhere near as good.

 

[RhiannonE]

Yes I bought a sheepskin furry one and that was no where near as nice on the ole bottom!!

Definatly! Theres nothing quite like them! I think they're even BD legal now as they're so discrete

I bought one when I got back in the saddle after having spinal surgery. Definitely worth buying as you'll continue to use it for everyday riding.

Yep and I love it, its so comfy!!! I bought mine for about £25 on equestrian clearance, don't know if they still have them though.

I'm cleary in the minority but I didn't get on with mine so I flogged it on eBay.

 

[Aniseed]

£25 Coffee_Bean you got a bargain there!

I love my aunties and am on the look out for one of my own!

 

[ester]

love it, had it 10 years and although gone a bit shiney still fine. Have a spare too which hasn't been used yet. I got it whilst working in a shop so I could get it cheap for when the old one broke - but the old one is still going!

My sis doesn't like riding in it though.

I don't use it when jumping as it tends to make the saddle a bit shallow but apart from that it feels odd without it. For 7 hours a day I would definitely recommend.

I got mine on equestrian clearance. The cheap ones aren't heather moffat.. I tried to get a second hand one off ebay and they are not much cheaper than brand new. so i didnt mind paying out for mine as I knew I would get my money back if I didnt like it.

 

[dawny67]

ie got one and wouldnt do without it11111 x

 

[dawny67]

the 1s were sposed to be exlamation marks hehe x

 

[PennyJ]

Yes, and I would thoroughly recommend you to bite the bullet, shell out the money and buy one for yourself.

 

[Serephin]

I have one for my barefoot cheyenne - its a heath moffat one and I love it - so comfy - no danger of bottom chafing!

 

[Sprout]

I LOVE mine and wouldnt want to ride any distance without it - I managed to find it second hand, but in perfect condition in my local tack shop.
