Slippery Saddles

[Bedford Joy]

Hi there, can anyone help .. I have 2 Prestige eventing saddles which I adore, but they have become very slippery on the seat. I only use Prestige cleaners/conditioners on them. Is there anything I can do to make the seat more grippy, less slippery to give me a little more grip without ruining the leather?
Thank you x

Sounds like something you would never do, but a very good saddler advised me to give it a dressing with a good conditioner, several times over, and it did help with mine - I used the Passier conditioner. Obviously not just before you are about to sit on them!

Apparently you can buy a spray to help according to my saddle fitter. I think its called Sit Tite.

There is that resin stuff for grip, or you could get an acavallo seat saver for extra stickiness! Might be too sticky for jumping though!

Second the acavallo seat saver. Bliss for yer bum!

I tanners oil the snot out of mine, have just got an Albion which I am oiling up as it was slippery when I rode in it. Saddles stay in excellent condition when oiled scratches and stuff doesn't show up.

Third the seat saver, if I had a spare £50 I would have one on each saddle, they work like nothing else I've ever tried.
