To all those with an ACAVALLO SEAT SAVER....

[dotty1]

Gel out is the sticky one, I would presume gel in is just comfy not sticky!!!

Wouldn't be with out my gel out one,

What are the differences between the 'gel in' seat savers, and the 'gel out' savers?

The ' gel in' is covered with dri lex which is a breathable mesh, it is isnt sticky. 'Gel out' is very sticky and grippy.

My event horse's owner has one and o tend not to bother to take it off her when I ride. It's definitely sticky but I haven't found massive problems with it - maybe it depends on the style of your "rise" and your horse's trot?

My only observation to those who ride in jeans or similar - I ride all autumn/winter/spring in jeans and long chaps and the fabric of the seat saver has rubbed and bobbled where the chaps and jeans join the edge of the seat.

Mine pulled my jods off exposing my large behind complete with bright red g-string to some poor unsuspecting souls

OMG!!! Nooooo!! How embarrassing/mortifying. Oh poor you

I have one and have never had this problem at all!

I don't wear sticky bum jods though

I wear sticky bums and have never had a problem. Love mine!

It has a lot to answer for re embarassment!!!

I have been wearing leggings to ride in for the past week as I can actually rise with it in them. Last night, had been at the yard about an hour, mucked out etc and was just tacking up when YO came past and said 'XXXXX (me) I'm just going to tell you this now...' I was like 'What?' 'Your leggings are actually see through, you can see everything.....'

Nice.

Thank you for clarifying Dotty1 and Bellatrix.

 

[Doublethyme]

I just wear normal jods or breeches, nothing fancy or expensive and haven't had an issue yet

If it's anything like that tacky stuff you spray on the saddle it's not for me. My horse is a gelderlander and I get THROWN out of the saddle in trot! When I tried the tacky stuff I was practically doing a moonie at every step.

Ha ha, yeah I tried that spray stuff and had the same problem - just stuck your jods to the saddle, dont know why I thought it'd work!

I've been thinking about getting the Gel Out one of these, although they're rather pricey (anyone know the cheapest place to get one?). My main question though is - are they legal for BE (including the dressage) and BS??

 

[Jojoeena]

Not sure about BE but they are BD so hopefully ...

 

[MagicMelon]

Darn, will have to make a new post asking this question then! Dont do BD, cant do stressage
