How To Use A Weaver Smart Cinch

The Weaver Smart Cinch

The Weaver Leather company says its Smart cinch is "smart" because of the design of the nearly-side (left-paw side of the horse) design of the buckle.

The buckle has a unique two-bar design (as opposed to most other cinches that just have one bar) with rollers on each bar. According to Weaver, and many production reviews we've read, this blueprint allows for the sure-fire to be pulled snug more smoothly and easily.

Well-nigh The Weaver Smart Cinch Design

The Weaver Smart cinch has a unique ii-bar blueprint to its buckle, every bit opposed to the one-bar blueprint on nearly other cinches. When pulling a cinch snug the 2-bar blueprint eliminates the latigo from rubbing on itself beyond the cinch buckle (more than on this below), eliminating a potential source of friction that may cause a cinch to be difficult to snug. In addition, the Weaver Smart cinch has rollers across each bar to further contribute to the ease of snugging the cinch. The Weaver Smart sure-fire buckle is likewise narrower and straighter than nearly other cinch buckles, a blueprint, according to Weaver, that allows for less "play" when snugging a cinch and helps to ensure a straight pull.

Beneath: A "regular" cinch buckle. The latigo is passed through this type of buckle twice during the saddling process, assuasive the latigo to rub over itself where information technology passes through the cinch band.

Below: The Weaver Smart cinch buckle. With the Smart cinch design the latigo offset passes under the elevation bar, then under the lower bar, eliminating the latigo from rubbing against itself. In improver, at that place are rollers on each bar to help the latigo curl smoothly. Lastly, the directly-across design helps the latigo to stay straight.

The Weaver Smart Cinch: Our Brief Review

Here at CowboyWay we've had a couple of felt Weaver Smart Cinches and we similar them. We wrote a review that y'all can come across hither: Weaver Smart Cinch Review (<<< this link will open in a new window). If yous don't want to read the total review, here's the brusk version:

Nosotros like the Smart cinch. We have had a couple of the felt Smart cinches (they also come in neoprene and mohair). They have been good quality, both the buckles and the felt, and held upwards well. We besides consider them to be a good value for the reasonable price you tin unremarkably notice them for. Nosotros would definitely buy one again.

Nosotros have to say, though, that in our opinion the Smart sure-fire is only slightly easier to snug up during the saddling procedure than a "regular" sure-fire. We accept read several online reviews where the reviewers thought the Smart sure-fire was noticeably easier to tighten, but for usa the divergence wasn't dramatic. This might exist because we're using well-broken in leather latigos that are smooth and easy to slide, or maybe it's because our hands don't have any injuries or conditions that make tightening a cinch difficult. We definitely agree the Smart sure-fire is a little easier to tighten, but the departure didn't accident usa away. (Past the way, regardless of the type of cinch yous're using if your leather latigo is a little sticky and won't slide endeavor putting baby powder on information technology. That ofttimes un-sticks a leather latigo in a hurry.)

There is one thing we don't similar about the Smart cinch, though: When it'south new the rollers are noisy. They rattle and clank, softly, all during the saddling and unsaddling process. After we use the cinch a while we don't hardly observe it anymore. We can't say if this is considering we've gotten used to it, or if it'southward considering the rollers serenity down with use. We don't consider it to exist a big deal, but thought we would mention information technology.

There'due south one more thing nosotros'd similar to mention: The buckle tongue on the Smart cinch is thicker and wider than on other cinches we've used. It's really not all that noticeable just looking at it, but when you saddle upwards for the first time you might notice the buckle tongue takes a little extra push to get it through the holes in the latigo. Later on the first ride or two our leather latigos were re-shaped to the new tongue and we didn't notice it anymore when saddling.
