I bought the second one. We have two horses and saddles. I’ve been riding an air flex on One of our saddles for several years. During that time we’ve worn out two mohair cinches on the other saddle. We recently purchased the second air flex, and when it came in we realized that Our old one looks almost as good as the new one! These things work great and look like they’re going to last a long, long time. Thanks for a great product.
