As per the title, I know about Fairfax and Prolite. Which other brands are recommended? Would prefer one not too narrow. Needs to be made in large sizes (56/58 inch) as I have a jumping saddle with short flaps and a humungous horse! Thanks in advance

Not sure about size, but I had an ideal infinity girth made up without the leather straps, ordered it from saddles direct who were happy to have it made up for me minus the elastic.

A saddler can make you a 3 fold leather girth with serge inside. Butter soft and last forever. Old fashioned of course but very comfortable for the horse.

I would warn to think about which girth straps you're using, non-elasticated girths often have very short buckle straps and can't be used easily, or effectively with set ups like point and balance strap. If you have close together "standard" 3 girth straps then you don't need to worry as much.
