Grippy Girth & Stud Guards

[MagicMelon]

Am looking to get a new girth for my boy since I dont think its hugely safe to go XC in his nice wide Stubben string girth.

But it needs to be grippy, because he's shaped like a barrel my saddle can slip a little bit although I do find his string one seems to keep it in place as its so nice and wide. So am looking for a wide girth again. Ideally not leather as he sweats pretty heavily under them. So something grippy and wide basically! Ideas?

And also would like a stud guard, any opinions on which ones are good and which bad?

Nothing too pricey either! Am I asking for the impossible here?

The wintecs are grippy but do get sweaty

Comfort zone are fab, light weight and grippy too

been using mine for two event seasons and will wash in the bath if really grubby

i would second the recommendation on comfort zone. not actually used one yet but seen one in the flesh and heard good reports. i shall be buying one at bramham i think

I'm currently using a hexa stud guard (synthetic with neoprene inner), with a professional choice girth. It's a fairly grippy combination

If they fitted I would have had a comfort zone, but because I have a wow saddle I need a 30" short stud guard and they cannot supply without making a new mould, but will consider it in the future.

I have one spare hexa guard if you are interested
