Non elastic stud girths?

[Hannahhughes]

Just wondering if anyone knows of a stud girth that doesn’t have elastic? Our saddler isn’t a fan of elasticated girths due to overtightening and what not, however, I am struggling to find one

You could try WOW, all their girths are non elastic

Just don't overtighten...don't see if you CAN tighten, see if you should (ie check tightness before and after, every time). Potential user error is seldom a good reason for recommending against something imo, just educate the user.

I DO understand it if the product causes issues when correctly used ie causes slippage but the way I fit elastic is better than none for stability
