Bridles with generous nosebands?

[hairycob]

I need to get another bridle for my hairy cob, Jason but am not sure about the sizing. He currently has 2 bridles:

Everyday hacking one is made up of bits & peices that are a bit the worse for wear or cheap & nasty & it need replacing. Mostly cob size, but the noseband is full,

"Going out" bridle is a Kieffer that I got from ebay - cob size, but I had the noseband extended.

I was offered another secondhand Kieffer but the noseband didn't come anywear near doing up, though the rest fitted fine.

Don't have a massive budget so am scouring ebay for bargains but keep holding back because I worry about the fit. Which makes do people find are more generously fitted in the noseband department?

ariona ones from ebay have very generous crank nosebands, i had a cob one for my mare but had to replace the noseband as i couldnt get the noseband tight enough, and she has a very unladylike head
they are good value for money

I've seen those on ebay. What is the quality like?

The noseband on my black and white bridle is far too small for Shy, even though it's full size. I've just bought a hunter caveson, fs, and it fits so much better

I have an ariona headcollar (leather) and use it everyday - fab quality.

the quality of them is fab, i only sold my bridle because i changed my saddle and the colour didnt match

Will have to look at the ariona. The head piece on the everyday bridle snapped today - my fault - got it caught on feet.
