I love my Racesafe. It seems the Kan is also very popular but weighs more

I don't think it's the type or make that's important (well it is but depends on your shape and size) but what is important is you get one fitted!! I stupidly bought 2 bp's on line (bargain prices
) and neither fitted well so decided to go to local saddlery and now have a Airowear that I forget I have on!! It's a fantastic fit and I feel completely at ease wearing it. I tried on various different makes and the shop assistant showed me what was wrong with each one, then she made me get on their practice horse and ensured it didn't hit the saddle and fitted while riding. Worth the extra is cost because I know it will last...plus ensures I won't put back on the weight I've lost cos I'm not buying another one!! lol!

I love my racesafe, its the only one I can wear without feeling restricted.
However, I'm saving up for a Kan as I think they are wonderful BPs.

I have an old Charles Owen one that is due to be replaced. I was looking at Racesafe but I have heard such great things about the Kan that I am investing in one.

I have an aerowear one. I like that they make different ones for men and women! The fit was so much more comfortable than some unisex ones I tried on.

I think maybe Aerowear? When I bought mine I had it fitted at the saddlery shop and they mentioned if you don't have an exact fit to the sizes they can send away for a custom fit.
