Flux Premium

Advantages: Comfortable, good quiality.
Disadvantages: Expensive.

...others though. My thoroughbred mare has sensitive skin and she has come back from rides with rub marks from under the numnah. A good numnah will eliminate pressure points. It will also be manufactured from a material that will not cause rubbing., will not attract dirt and will wash and dry easily. Sheepskin is a natural fibre. It is soft and comfortable, it absorbs sweat really well and it seems to suit my thoroughbred mare. This is why I find sheepskin so good. I can use other numnahs for riding, but when spending a long time in the saddle, which you do when showing, I always use sheepskin for this mare. Stephens premium sheepskin is available as a showing numnah as well as other styles. The numnah actually costs £50 so it is quite expensive. However, comfort should not be compromised and it is certainly good quality. I have... Read review

Advantages: cheap (at the moment), with numrous aerobic facilities
Disadvantages: cramped and crowded at peak times

...provide a bigger area for the gym section. And a bigger car park will be invaluable. Whether all this will cause costs to rise is another matter - my instinct says that this is a near certainty. Until this happens, though, anyone interested in using weights at the gym will be sorely disadvantaged.

Disadvantages: Doesn't fold so well

...as steel, and the Dahon does nothing to disabuse me of this observation. The welds look like a novice's attempt to apply bathroom sealant with a garden towel, but this detail aside the build quality has an air of permanence about it - the various clamps and bare metal parts have lustrous sheens to them and the stainless steel spokes and alloy rims glint in the sun. LIVING WITH IT Like the Brompton, the ride experience falls short of that of a 'full sized' bike, where larger wheels can span potholes with less drama, and the greater innate frame strength without resorting to enough aluminium welding flux to stretch the GDP of a minor country instils greater confidence at speed. However, it does what it's intended for admirably, with the exception of the manner in which it folds. This leaves you with no logical centre of gravity with which... Read review
