Thanks for this update! I was thinking about buying one of
those girths. Will definitely pass now. Any experience with
billet straps that have elastic in them (Breath Easy)?
Seems it might provide the same "give" without having to
switch girths.

Thanks,

*I also wanted to update folks on what happened with the neoprene sweet-spot 
cinch I "returned" due to the elastic pulling out after less than month of use. 
It was discovered right before I stepped on my green mare to do a ride; the 
elastic had pulled out just from being pulled up loosely....upon inspection, 
there was only an inch or two of elastic even stitched....only stitched around 
once, and with very bad thread....I could have been seriously hurt.

My previous cinch was also inspected and I was horrified to find the elastic 
almost torn through completely!

These were made in the good old USA by Blue Ridge.

I send both back to Chicks....the older one also to show that the elastic is 
simply not heavy duty enough....to their credit, they did refund me on both 
cinches (and the older one was way past their return policy), however I was 
pretty admamant in a letter that I send to Chicks that they send these along to 
Blue Ridge, so they could see what happened....
