I know I posted asking about backing saddle a couple weeks ago, but I've got the option to by a synthetic HM FlexEE GP for a decent price (still not cheap by any means), and I'm just looking for reassurance that it's worth it.
I had a cheap treeless libra a few years ago that was comfy, but slipped like mad (despite proper poly-pads, girths and non-slip pads), couldn't lean out to the side for a gate without ending up sliding off the side and I had no hope of mounting until I found something to stand on so I could slide onto it without putting weight in the stirrups.
Basically I don't want to drop the money on something that's going to do the same as that hah! From what I hear, they ride quite similar to a regular treed saddle?
