Having owned 2 wintec saddles, I can't emphasise enough the greatest factor of all - not having to use saddle soap!!! With any style or model of wintec all you have to do to clean them is to just wash them over with the hose pipe!!!
The first model wintec that I had was made of a gel type substance that in fact had no tree in it, so was impossible to break!! and because of being made of gel was less likely to cause any pressure points, as I am now breaking in my youngster this saddle is absolutely ideal for that job!! So i bought my other mare a new wintec, the syle that looks just like leather, and being reasonably priced at around £350 I reckon they are great value, you wouldn't pick up a decent leather saddle for that price.
As with any wintec saddle you are able to change the gullet at the front of the saddle, should your horse change shape. I have never had to change the gullet yet so cannot comment on how easy/hard this may be!!
Being so much lighter than conventional saddles is another reason I chose a wintec. If you use them with the wintec stirrup leathers you don't have to clean these either!!!

Advantages: Light weight, easy care, comfortable seat, easy change gullets, looks good Disadvantages: A bit slippy on my low-withered pony, hard to fit to her shape
